When I travelled to this region of the U.S. I didn’t known if I was going to have a spiritual awakening.

I’ve heard of energy portals coming from vibrations of the earth being prevalent here.

I did feel this energy, even if it was fleeting at least. I experience more spiritual mana in Hawaii.

Nevertheless, the imagery of the area is outstanding!

The interplay of light and shadow across the undulating terrain brings the grasslands to life throughout the day. Early morning and late afternoon provide golden hues that bathe the landscape in warmth, highlighting the textures of the grasses and the subtle contours of the land. This soft, angled light is perfect for capturing the gentle sway of tall grasses against the dramatic backdrop of Sedona’s rugged cliffs.

Mauna Kea, the sacred summit rising majestically on the Big Island of Hawaii, holds profound spiritual and cultural significance. Revered by Native Hawaiians as a sacred place, Mauna Kea is considered the dwelling of deities and the bridge between the earth and the heavens. Ascending to an elevation of 13,803 feet, it is the highest point in Hawaii, offering breathtaking panoramic views that stretch beyond the horizon. The stark contrast between its snow-capped peak and the tropical landscape below creates a surreal and awe-inspiring visual experience.

I’ve always been drawn to Mauna Kea's unique blend of natural beauty and celestial allure. The summit’s arid, moon-like terrain juxtaposed with vibrant sunsets and the crystalline clarity of the night sky offers unparalleled photographic opportunities. As one of the world’s premier sites for astronomical observation, Mauna Kea’s observatories stand silhouetted against a backdrop of stars, making it a haven for astrophotography. Capturing the essence of Mauna Kea not only involves its dramatic landscapes but also requires a respectful acknowledgment of its sacredness, fostering a deeper connection between the photographer, the land, and the cultural heritage it embodies.

In the Heart of the Sawtooth Mountains in Idaho.

Redfish Lake, nestled in the heart of Idaho's Sawtooth National Recreation Area, offers photographers a breathtaking canvas of natural beauty. Framed by the jagged peaks of the Sawtooth Mountains, the lake's crystal-clear waters reflect stunning alpine scenery, providing an ideal setting for landscape photography.

• We went on a boat trip on this lake a few years ago and it was a majestic sight to behold.
• Great area to explore
