The Majesty Of Light
There is nothing more inspirational than to stand at the precipice of the Grand Canyon as the rays of the setting sun cascade through the layers of erosion and time.
This experience is my motivation and fuel for my travels and imagery.By Robert Peck

"Serpentine Dune The silence, stillness, unending sense of curves and the feeling of nothingness out in the distants.

The silence, stillness, unending sense of curves and the feeling of nothingness out in the distant horizon are the elements that leave the biggest impression when hiking the big dunes. You don’t realize just how big the dunes are until you trek out beyond the foot prints and tracks that are left behind by day hikers. When you get into the dunes the silence is meditative and you begin to see in sweeping forms and swirling mountains of sand. I was struck by the lines before me in a serpentine form and I decided to make this my final destination as going forward would have tracked the dunes and marred the simplicity of the landscape. © Robert Park www.robert-park.com

Star Gazer” The Vermillion Cliffs are one of my favorite places in the world. It is a land of wonders and geological oddities coupled with the high Colorado plateaus. With a stunning clarity of air and light, this area offers absolutely wondrous sunsets, sunrises, and landscape possibilities. Rare Spring storms brought clouds to the Paria Plateau giving the sunset a sense of magic and drama. I had pre-visualized this image and when I had seen the storms clearing I drove three and a half hours straight to the plateau, through the treacherous sand, just to get to this area. After three days of camping in the remote wilderness with the glory of nature open to me, I was able to create this masterpiece of a lonely rock waiting for the stars to come out at sunset.

"Truckin" Grateful Dead Head Cholla, Joshua Tree NP I was photographing sunrise backlit cholla in Joshua Tree this winter and while I was entranced by the glowing backlighting effect I was unaware that this Dead Head fan was out for a morning jog. He looked at me saying "Dude That's An Awesome Camera" and ran off, but not before I got an image off. © RobertPark www.robert-park.com

“Eternity”
Toroweap Point is a truly remote spot of the Grand Canyon located at the end of a 60 mile dirt road. Once there you can camp just a few hundred feet from the sheer cliffs of the Grand Canyon within an established campsite. This image was created one evening, while camping in solitude at Toroweap. The sun was cresting the horizon at sunset while the clouds began to clear—dramatic
beams of light cascaded down the canyon—allowing a beautiful starburst to be created in the camera lens. Toroweap Point drops almost 3,000 feet straight down to the Grand Canyon and Colorado River, offering breath-taking views and a sense of exhilaration that is unmatched anywhere else in the canyon.
Location: Toroweap Point on the North Rim of the Grand Canyon.

“Prosperity” A Prosperity Tree is said to attract wealth and prosperity, and bring good luck to those who have it. The tree is symbolic with branches that basically represents the five elements of feng shui, wood, water, earth, fire and metal. It not only adds life to a room, which is an important principle of feng shui, it also helps maintain balance and harmony in a given space. I chose a square format camera as it embodies perfect balance, allowing the mind to freely wander throughout the image. As you gaze into this image you begin to relive the Maple tree’s plight as it reached for new areas despite twists and turns. In other words you get the rare chance to recreate the tree’s own Prosperity. Location: Portland , OR © RobertPark www.robert-park.com/

"Emerald Garden" - A Dreamy Image at Punchbowl Falls in The Columbia Gorge, OR

Emerald Garden is a dreamy image of Punchbowl Falls. The falls "are located in a very remote and deep gorge that is filled with snow melt waters coming from Mount Hood in the Cascade Range. This image was captured in early summer using an exposure lasting nearly four minutes, which created an ethereal smooth glow to the water that trickled away from the falls.
