The pictures on this page are a few photos I took on my trip out west in October 2002.
They were taken with a Honeywell Pentax Spotmatic. f/1.8 55mm lense (also a Pentax).



The South Dakota Badlands on a grey day.

Note the mountian sheep on the ledge.


Badlands_III.jpg
This is my personal favorite of the three. I had to enhance the color a bit, but it gives the best portrayal of the Badlands.

Awe-inspiring Devil's Tower in Wyoming.

An aspen in the height of its radiant color is the foreground here.

This is Bear Lake, the first lake we saw on our hike in the Rockies.

Estes_Park_VIII.jpg
After several miles of hiking through snow, mud, and beautifully clear, pine-scented air we made it to Emerald Lake!


Estes_Park_VII.jpg
Emerald Lake: Known for it's jade and emerald colored waters, it was at its brightest this windy day.


Estes_Park_XI.jpg
On our hike back I snapped this photo - I angeled too much towards the sun though...

Winding as far as the snow allowed us on this day, our final destination was a windswept point overlooking this mountian.

The lighting of Mt. Rushmore - It's beautiful at night!

No matter how many times you see it, it's amazing to be at Mt. Rushmore in person.

It's about lighting and perspective!!!
