"Tranquil Tides" By Robert Park http://www.robert-park.com

Tranquil Tides” The scenic beauty of the seastacks offshore and headlands onshore make your stroll down the sand particularly memorable at Canon Beach . Fly a kite, watch the sea creatures in the tidepools, or take in a sunset on the famous Haystack Rocks. Relaxing on the beach is part of the Cannon Beach experience. The area is protected as part of the
"Tranquil Tides"
Oregon Islands National Wildlife Refuge as well as a designated National Wilderness Area. I had envisioned a spectacular sunset on the black sand beaches however when I saw the reflections in the wet sand as the waves receded I was compelled by this most peaceful scene. Waiting for just the right moment when the receding tide and reflection was perfect I exposed my film and knew I had captured something monumental.

“White House Ruins” The White House Ruins are located within protected Navajo land and you must be accompanied by a guide to explore the area. The ruins sit in harmony within the desert varnish of the sheer faced cliff walls of the canyon, giving the ancient structure a sense of drama and timeless elegance.

Mystic Portal Location Chaco Culture, New Mexico The center of an ancient worldChaco Canyon was an important Anasazi (ancient Native American) cultural center from about 900 through 1130 AD. It is a place that is to be sensed as much as seen. Of all the ancient, sacred sites I visited in the Southwest, this is the one that speaks to me like no other. No language doesn't exist that can adequately describe the experience you must experience your self. © RobertPark www.robert-park.com/

"Eternity"Grand Canyon National Park By Robert Parkhttp://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.

"Temples Of Kolob" Zion National Park" By Robert Park
The Kolob Canyon section of Zion National Park is one of the most conveniently located national park areas in all of Utah. Located just off Interstate 15, these spectacular finger canyons of Zion offers soaring cliffs of red Navajo sandstone and deep pocket canyons just waiting to be discovered. Kolob may be the little known portion of Zion National Park but that doesn't mean i
t is not as spectacular as the main canyons of Zion proper. Kolob is home to a unique geological history and diverse animal and plant life. The scenery is stunning and provides visitors with peaceful and serene surroundings unmatched by any other National Park in the southwest. The word "Kolob" is from Mormon scripture meaning "residence closest to heaven." Visit Kolob Canyon and see for yourself. Kolob Canyons is a beautiful place to tour throughout the year. In the winter, the red Navajo sandstone glimmers with a fresh dusting of snow and in the spring the waterfalls cascade down the rugged cliffs, streaking them black from the run-off. Wildflowers bloom in abundance during the summer, and with the coming of utumn, the yellow-gold leaves of the valley's scrub oak offers an interesting contrast to the vast scenery.

"Impressions of Monet" Inspired by the great master impressionist, this is a study in simplicity and elegance. I had pre visualized this artwork and was able to bring together the elements of selective focus with exposure to isolate and bring forth the painterly look of the motion blurred reflections on the water and the lone blooming lily. There is a timeless appeal that is manifested in Impressions of Monet that pays tribute to the master. Location Death Valley National Park, California."

"Great Streaked"Burr Trail, Utah By Robert Park My favorite feature is the enormous sandstone cliffs with their beautiful desert patina varnish.

Via Flickr:
Great Streaked The Burr Trail takes the adventurous traveler into some of Utah’s most beautiful and extraordinary country with views of the Henry Mountains, the colorfully contorted Waterpocket Fold, red Circle Cliffs, and Long Canyon. My favorite feature is the enormous sandstone cliffs with their beautiful desert patina varnish. It takes thousands of years for the varnish to form and the remote Long Canyon has some of the most dramatic canyon walls to be seen. There is a solitude and magnificence in these areas that I wished to capture and I feel the sense of remote beauty in this image. Location Burr Trail, Utah © RobertPark www.robert-park.com
