https://www.chrisbyrnephotography.com/images/large/Release.2x3.Boardman.1750px.jpg RELEASE I had a window of one day to make this trip down to the southern Oregon coast. There had been rain for days and more rain and gloomy days coming in the forecast. But the storms moved out for a single afternoon and I decided to take the long drive to clear my head and see what would transpire at this location. A place that I've sat at many times but never had the "perfect storm" of big rough seas and great sunset light. That was until this evening when everything came together as I had hoped. I think the rewards are sweetest when you can feel the salt water in the air and an ocean breeze in your hair. Samuel L.

have ever encountered. The clouds that form around these carved mountain peaks often create such dramatic and unusual scenes and are truly a photographer's dream. We had seen horses on the plains numerous times on our trip, but never in the prefect spot like they were here. Prompting us to put on the brakes for one final farewell shot. This was the last photograph that I took on my trip to Chilean Patagonia in April 2022.

The black sand dunes, dotted with golden grasses in the fall, are a signature of this special place right on the beach. Few locations have a mountain as prominent as this one, rising straight out of the sand. The grass mounds create perfect foregrounds and a labyrinth to wander through, while the sand squeaks under your feet. Its undeniable appeal makes it one of the most photographed locations in Iceland. Stokknes, Iceland https://www.chrisbyrnephotography.com/photo/blue-and-gold-bruarfoss-iceland/ https://www.chrisbyrnephotography.com/images/large/New.WebsiteChrisByrnePhotography.1750px-134.jpg BLUE AND GOLD Late evening light during the midnight sun in Iceland casts a warm glow on the rocky ledges surrounding the cascades in this intimate image of Brúarfoss. I've said many times that this is my favorite waterfall in all of Iceland, and it's because of the many different facets of her beauty. Here, the golden light perfectly complements the vivid blue waters—a fleeting moment that lasted only minutes. Like a hidden treasure chest left behind by Mother Nature, it rewards those lucky enough to witness it. Every time I return, I see something new, and its beauty always fills me with deep appreciation for the gift of experiencing such a place.

Brúarfoss is truly a special waterfall. When I observe her from this particular angle—with a short drop for the water to fall into a small, dark and narrow canyon—it's as if she's sharing a secret, whispering into my ear and meant only for me. Iceland (2023) https://www.chrisbyrnephotography.com/photo/1238/ https://www.chrisbyrnephotography.com/images/large/New.WebsiteChrisByrnePhotography.1750px-131.jpg https://www.chrisbyrnephotography.com/photo/1237/ https://www.chrisbyrnephotography.com/images/large/New.WebsiteChrisByrnePhotography.1750px-130.jpg https://www.chrisbyrnephotography.com/photo/land-before-time-landmannalaugar-iceland/ https://www.chrisbyrnephotography.com/images/large/New.WebsiteChrisByrnePhotography.1750px-129.jpg LAND BEFORE TIME Deep in Iceland's interior, the Pearl of the Highlands—known as Landmannalaugar—is carved by ancient glacial rivers, revealing its colorful rhyolite mountains in a perfectly framed scene. I photographed this vantage point while flying in a small Cessna plane with a old friend who is a pilot in Iceland. As we pushed the plane out of the hangar that day, he proudly showed off a new propeller he had recently installed on the plane. Later, while in the air, I kept asking if we could fly lower and lower and lower—which he did, though a bit hesitantly. Only on the way back did he tell me, "There's no way I would've pulled out of there against that strong wind with the old propeller!" My ignorance was bliss that day and this image is the reason I wanted to get so low in that canyon.

It's an absolutely stunning scene—one that lasts only minutes when conditions align just right. The waterfall literally catches on fire with the backlight from the sun! Visiting in summer offers what feels like endless daylight, giving you time to explore the incredible sights Iceland has to explore. Yet even with all those hours, the very best moments—like this one—are still fleeting. Seljalandsfoss, Iceland https://www.chrisbyrnephotography.com/photo/phantoms-iceland-highland-black-craters/ https://www.chrisbyrnephotography.com/images/large/New.WebsiteChrisByrnePhotography.1750px-126.jpg PHANTOMS Dormant volcanic craters retain their shape, while their grounds have been reduced to sand. From above, they give the illusion of being active, with a red-colored rim. This striking coloration is actually the result of the oxidation of iron in the ancient lava after years of erosion. Photographed with a drone, this series of three images evokes the turbulent volcanic history of this land—one that created the entire island of Iceland thousands of years ago. Iceland https://www.chrisbyrnephotography.com/photo/message-in-a-bottle-diamond-beach-iceland/ https://www.chrisbyrnephotography.com/images/large/New.WebsiteChrisByrnePhotography.1750px-125.jpg MESSAGE IN A BOTTLE Chunks of ice, broken off from the Breiðamerkurjökull glacier, swim and bob around in the glacier lagoon at Jökulsárlón for days or even weeks before making their way through a channel and out to sea. Many are then washed back up onto the black sand shores—like perfectly polished crystals released from thousands of years in a frozen tomb. Each one carries a message, encased in ice: a loud and clear warning to all who are willing to listen that our planet and its climate are changing. Anyone who denies this should stand here for just a minute, witness it with their own eyes, and hold one of these ice-glass "bottles" in their hands. The lagoon this ice came from didn't even exist a hundred years ago. Diamond Beach, Iceland https://www.chrisbyrnephotography.com/photo/moss-monster-oregon-waterfall/ https://www.chrisbyrnephotography.com/images/large/New.WebsiteChrisByrnePhotography.1750px-124.jpg MOSS MONSTER This Oregon waterfall is quite possibly the most mossy creature I have ever seen. While not very difficult to reach and certainly visited by many, the layout makes it quite hard to scamper around and trample the awesome green shag carpet that covers every surface below the falls. The constant mist nourishes the moss, while the raging creek—almost impossible to cross—protects it from unwanted feet. With the fallen trees acting like a super green highway across the creek, it is one of the more interesting of Oregon's many waterfalls. And with all that moss, it's like stepping into a life-sized terrarium! Oregon https://www.chrisbyrnephotography.com/photo/thirst-quencher/ https://www.chrisbyrnephotography.com/images/large/New.WebsiteChrisByrnePhotography.1750px-123.jpg THIRST QUENCHER Everywhere you stand at this Oregon waterfall, you get wet and feel baptized by the forest. This short yet powerful falls constantly feeds its pocket in the woods with mist, and no matter whether you're up close or far downstream, you can feel it. All of the fallen trees from over the years have a thick, lush coat of moss from the steady shower they receive. It all comes together to create a unique, Jurassic-like gem in the Pacific Northwest—one that feels like the perfect hangout spot for Sasquatch to relax. Willamette National Forest, Oregon https://www.chrisbyrnephotography.com/photo/green-with-envy-upper-bridal-falls-oregon/ https://www.chrisbyrnephotography.com/images/large/New.WebsiteChrisByrnePhotography.1750px-122.jpg GREEN WITH ENVY Upper Bridal Falls in the Columbia River Gorge is one of the most unique waterfalls in the region, and worth every step of the steep and tricky hike to get down into it. With the overhanging tree, flat creek base, and lush ferns reminiscent of a prehistoric era, the compositions here are plentiful and I really enjoy working the scene at this waterfall. This particular year I took this, a fern downstream had grown to a huge size, making it the perfect foreground and filling the bottom of the frame beautifully. It showcased just how impressively the forest here interacts with the water systems. There's not much better than spring in the Gorge! Columbia River Gorge, Oregon https://www.chrisbyrnephotography.com/photo/the-gift/ https://www.chrisbyrnephotography.com/images/large/New.WebsiteChrisByrnePhotography.1750px-121.jpg THE GIFT It is a true gem of a waterfall, hidden deep in the forest of the Pacific Northwest. This oasis changes drastically with the seasons, and I believe I have captured it at its prime during early spring. The fresh growth of devil's club and ferns sprouting from the thick, moss-covered rocks, hiding the creek at the base of the falls, tells a story of rejuvenation, a forest full of life, and new beginnings—all gifts from nature that tell the story of renewal. It is a place that few people venture into the forest to find, and one that I am thankful to have visited and witnessed with good friends. Gifford National Forest, Washington https://www.chrisbyrnephotography.com/photo/falls-creek-falls/ https://www.chrisbyrnephotography.com/images/large/New.WebsiteChrisByrnePhotography.1750px-120.jpg WATERFALL WINDOW Falls Creek Falls in Washington is an iconic location, often photographed from an upper tier where people stand to capture a shot of their tiny selves in front of the tall waterfall. It's an epic hero shot depicting adventure at its finest. However, as a nature photographer, I prefer not to include people and instead compose a photo that tells more of a story about the landscape itself. Here, I find the lower part of the falls, where the water flows through a narrow crack in the rocks below, acting like a funnel, to be a much more interesting image. With the wall of water as the backdrop and the middle ground left entirely out of the frame, the water pops through the channel and spreads out into the foreground. This better depicts the layers and creates wonder about what else lies on the other side of that rock wall. Shall we climb through it to find out?

And this one in Washington seems to pull you in and envelop you, as these odorless, tasteless, invisible little molecules of happiness are inhaled into your body. It hits you from every angle here—and I absolutely love it.

As I watched this unfold I knew that it was a race to see what would happen first - would those clouds move in and snuff out the sun completely before it could drop into that gap on the horizon? Or would I just get drenched in rain with nothing to show for it? If it worked out at the last instant as I had hoped, the light would be just magic.  Maui, Hawaii https://www.chrisbyrnephotography.com/photo/tropical-moods-hamoa-beach-maui/ https://www.chrisbyrnephotography.com/images/large/New.WebsiteChrisByrnePhotography.1750px-114.jpg TROPICAL MOODS Sunrise produces dramatic skies on this hideaway beach on Maui.

Moving in every direction at once yet somehow all toward the same destination. Photographed from a small Cessna over the Icelandic Highlands in Landmannalaugar, the patterns and water movements in these river deltas are intricate and complex, like a web of water with tendrils wrapping every which way. It's possibly one of the most beautiful natural abstractions on Earth. The meltwaters here begin in the highlands after the winter thaw.

But in the summer, when the snow melts off the highest elevations like here at Logan Pass, the valleys fill with temporary creeks and streams. As I stood here one morning watching the sunrise and listening to the symphony of cascading water all around me, I couldn't help but study the flow of these streams. They were everywhere, all around me at the highest valley in the park, meandering around rocks and pathways in the grass, finding their way forward. All with a singular purpose: to flow down these mountains, nourishing whatever it can along the way until it reaches its final destination of a lake or river below. I found this to be a great metaphor for people and life itself. Then in a moment of feeling completely at peace with myself and the world, I decided to put my head right under this pour off in the foreground and give myself a cleansing from Mother Nature herself. A very cold and refreshing cleansing at that. And in a way, a rebirth for my own life.  Glacier National Park, Montana https://www.chrisbyrnephotography.com/photo/1165/ https://www.chrisbyrnephotography.com/images/large/New.WebsiteChrisByrnePhotography.1750px-33.jpg MAUI, HAWAII https://www.chrisbyrnephotography.com/photo/castaway-sea-turtle-on-maui/ https://www.chrisbyrnephotography.com/images/large/New.WebsiteChrisByrnePhotography.1750px-32.jpg CASTAWAY A green sea turtle rests after a long day of swimming in the waters of Maui.

The colors were so vibrant and their tentacles so delicate, I got lost in photographing little scenes like this one all morning long. My favorite part of capturing this type of image with my macro lens is that the viewer has no idea of the size or scale of these creatures, which makes the discovery all the more surprising. Oregon Coast https://www.chrisbyrnephotography.com/photo/rise-yosemite-national-park/ https://www.chrisbyrnephotography.com/images/large/New.WebsiteChrisByrnePhotography.1750px-20.jpg RISE As I drove into Yosemite during the afternoon after a major snow storm, the park was shrouded in fog. Reaching the bend in the Merced River with a perfect view of El Capitan was easy since not many others had ventured into the park under these conditions. But I knew that the clouds were breaking to the west and if that continued something special could happen. Setting up my camera on the river's edge, the towering granite peak was completely obscured by the mist. And then slowly, oh so slowly, it began to clear. Now, if only the sun could break through as I hoped. And then......it started to happen. First a sliver of light appeared halfway up the wall, slicing the face right in the middle. Then a little more, and a little more light filled the wall. By this time a couple people had set up near me now as I was literally cheering on the light out loud. "C'mon, c'mon, you can do it……just a little more......c'mon please......YES!!!!" Just as the warm light set the full, impressive rock face aglow, El Capitan rose from the mist below. There I was, hollering in joy while my new neighbors looked at me as if I had two heads. I mean if you can't get excited about what Mother Nature can do, then what's the point in leaving the house to bear witness to a grand show like this?   El Capitan | Yosemite National Park, California https://www.chrisbyrnephotography.com/photo/1152/ https://www.chrisbyrnephotography.com/images/large/New.WebsiteChrisByrnePhotography.1750px-19.jpg YOSEMITE NATIONAL PARK, CALIFORNIA https://www.chrisbyrnephotography.com/photo/1151/ https://www.chrisbyrnephotography.com/images/large/New.WebsiteChrisByrnePhotography.1750px-18.jpg ICELAND https://www.chrisbyrnephotography.com/photo/home-of-gnomes-california-redwoods/ https://www.chrisbyrnephotography.com/images/large/New.WebsiteChrisByrnePhotography.1750px-17.jpg HOME OF GNOMES Warm morning light filters through a wall of redwood trees and kisses the floor carpeted in wood sorrel plants along pathways carved by the forest creatures in this enchanted forest.

Only happening once every ten years, super blooms of these fragrant flowers resurrect themselves in one of the most picture perfect locations with the Pacific Ocean in the distance. Needless to say it could not have unfolded any better on this evening that I was able to spend here. As the fog rolled in off the coast with the setting sun's dynamic light warming up the whole scene, it was indeed a privilege for Mother Nature to share this gift with me.

I had come to Yosemite following a major snowstorm with other images in mind. But as I drove around the road circling the valley and saw this scene during twilight, I couldn't hit the brakes fast enough. Only the sounds of the lightly falling snow filled the air as I worked in the quiet, snowy silence to capture the purity of the moment.

Here, the creation of this volcanic island is clearly evident in the porous lava rock shelf, with tide pools and drainages filling with waves. As the surf washed over my feet and legs—sometimes reaching up to my waist—the turbulent beauty of the ocean and land in perfect harmony was on full display with a sky ablaze in the backdrop.

https://www.chrisbyrnephotography.com/images/xl/LatestWork2022.1750px-10.jpg SLUMBER ON THE SANDS A line of green sea turtles rests in paradise as the sun begins to set—a picture of pure tranquility. These amazing creatures, a symbol of Hawaii, escape the waves to wind down at the end of the day. With sand on their flippers and the ocean breeze brushing their shells, what a perfect place to wash away the stress of the day. Maui, Hawaii https://www.chrisbyrnephotography.com/photo/hideaway-hawaii-sea-turtle-cave/ https://www.chrisbyrnephotography.com/images/large/Hideaway.WebsiteChrisByrnePhotography.1750px.jpg HIDEAWAY This perfect little cave provides shelter along a small sandy beach in Hawaii, where dozens of green sea turtles come in to rest for the night. One after another, they crawled up the shore as I sat tucked far in the back of the cave, watching them hide away after a long day of swimming in the ocean and riding the waves. The turtles paid no attention to me and it felt like I was living in an island dream. It's moments like this—surrounded by one of my favorite animals in such a beautiful location—that I have to pinch myself just to make sure it's real. Hawaii https://www.chrisbyrnephotography.com/photo/escape-maui-hawaii/ https://www.chrisbyrnephotography.com/images/xl/LatestWork2022.1750px-8.jpg ESCAPE I spent the morning on a beach in Maui, enjoying the sounds of the waves on the sand and the scent of salt in the air—a perfect way to wake up and start the day. I took one photo to preserve the memory, and this is that image. Beautiful clouds with a bit of warm light breaking through, turquoise waters, and palm trees—this is what an escape to Maui is all about. Maui, Hawaii https://www.chrisbyrnephotography.com/photo/splash-maui-beach-sunset/ https://www.chrisbyrnephotography.com/images/xl/LatestWork2022.1750px-7.jpg SPLASH What better way to end the day than with a beautiful sunset at a beach in Maui? The ocean waves crashing against the shore were a joy to watch. I only wish you could hear the waves as you look at this photo to fully experience how mesmerizing this evening was. Maui, Hawaii https://www.chrisbyrnephotography.com/photo/secret-beach-maui-hawaii/ https://www.chrisbyrnephotography.com/images/large/SecretBeach.WebsiteChrisByrnePhotography.1750px-22.jpg SECRET BEACH A dreamlike sunset on a very special beach in Maui. This picturesque location is a popular spot for couples to get married, and I did have to navigate around a few of them on this night. With the turquoise waves crashing and the water flowing out, I was able to find this composition, free of happy lovers, to showcase the pristine and untamed beauty of these tropical shores. Maui, Hawaii https://www.chrisbyrnephotography.com/photo/surfs-up-maui-hawaii/ https://www.chrisbyrnephotography.com/images/xl/LatestWork2022.1750px-5.jpg SURFS UP (PANORAMA) Maui is known for its vibrant green and blue waters, but this scene—featuring symmetrical, colorful surfboards lined up along the fence of a surf hostel—perfectly captures the island's spirit. Maui, Hawaii https://www.chrisbyrnephotography.com/photo/sandcastles-oregon-coast/ https://www.chrisbyrnephotography.com/images/xl/LatestWork2022.1750px-4.jpg SANDCASTLES (PANORAMA) A perfect alignment of sea stacks appears to float as the setting sun on the Oregon Coast turns the marine layer on the horizon into shades of yellow and orange. A combination of techniques was used in the field to capture these remarkable "castles" in the Pacific Ocean with a dreamlike look and feel. This cluster of rocks can't be seen from the old highway like many other landmarks along the coastline. Instead, they hide behind a wall of forested private land—a secret few people ever get to witness. I received special permission to be here, and the entire time I spent at this awe-inspiring vista, it felt like a figment of my imagination.

https://www.chrisbyrnephotography.com/images/xl/WebsiteChrisByrnePhotography.1750-505.jpg HOGWALLA Afternoon light bathes the bald cypress trees in the Hogwalla section of Caddo Lake in East Texas. These cypress trees, ranging from 100 to 400 years old, make up the largest cypress forest in the world. As the season shifts into autumn, a kaleidoscope of colors and reflections on the water create a dreamlike waterscape—like no other place I've ever been. Caddo Lake, Texas https://www.chrisbyrnephotography.com/photo/557/ https://www.chrisbyrnephotography.com/images/xl/WebsiteChrisByrnePhotography.1750-504.jpg https://www.chrisbyrnephotography.com/photo/bayou-ballad-bald-cypress-swamp/ https://www.chrisbyrnephotography.com/images/xl/WebsiteChrisByrnePhotography.1750-503.jpg BAYOU BALLAD Late afternoon light filters through the Spanish moss draping the bald cypress trees in the Texas swamps. I sat in my kayak for a long while, watching the daylight slowly fade. Surrounded by the stillness of the dark cypress cove, I listened to the chorus of insects singing their evening songs, letting the calm wash over me. Caddo Lake, Texas https://www.chrisbyrnephotography.com/photo/555/ https://www.chrisbyrnephotography.com/images/xl/WebsiteChrisByrnePhotography.1750-502.jpg https://www.chrisbyrnephotography.com/photo/apparition-panorama-caddo-lake/ https://www.chrisbyrnephotography.com/images/large/New.WebsiteChrisByrnePhotography.1750px-44.jpg APPARITION (PANORAMA) The morning mist was thick as I paddled along in the Big Cypress Bayou. Slowly the smoke on the water began to dissipate as I found myself near this well shaped bald cypress showing off her fall colors. With the foggy curtain making this tree standout and the natural framing of the tall, skinny ones on the side, it was as if she appeared out of nowhere. As soon as the mist was gone, so too was the significance of this tree as she disappeared into the backdrop of fall colors behind. I was grateful to witness this brief appearance and returned several more times with no such luck. Big Cypress Bayou, Texas https://www.chrisbyrnephotography.com/photo/apparition-bald-cypress-tree-caddo-lake-texas/ https://www.chrisbyrnephotography.com/images/xl/Website.ShadowChrisByrnePhotography-500.jpg APPARITION The morning mist hung thick over the Big Cypress Bayou as I paddled through the stillness. Gradually, the smoky veil on the water began to lift, revealing a beautifully shaped bald cypress, proudly displaying her fall colors. The fog acted as a curtain, making the tree stand out against the haze, while the tall, slender cypress trees on either side framed her perfectly. It felt as though she had materialized out of nowhere. But as soon as the mist lifted, the tree's significance faded, blending back into the sea of fall colors behind her. I was grateful for the brief moment of clarity and returned several more times, but the tree never revealed herself quite like this again.

I'm always struck by the profound stillness here—the quiet and the calm waters that perfectly mirror the scene, as if trying to hold onto the moment for as long as possible. Atchafalaya Basin, Louisiana https://www.chrisbyrnephotography.com/photo/jambalaya-caddo-lake/ https://www.chrisbyrnephotography.com/images/xl/WebsiteChrisByrnePhotography.1750-497.jpg JAMBALAYA The southern swamps come alive with textures and colors during autumn. While this scene is typical of the brief seasonal transition on the bayou, it remains an extraordinary visual feast. The Spanish moss drapes over the branches, and the still reflections in the hidden coves create a serene atmosphere. Floating in a kayak here, it's easy to get lost in the beauty of it all.

Late afternoon here is something truly special. As the winds settle, birds begin to roost, and the calm waters mirror the warm light gently hitting the trees. Pop open a cold beverage, kick your feet up on the boat, and let the serene atmosphere take you in.

As the ground cover on the canyon ledge turned red in the fall, the sun seemed to reach over and pull the rainbow out of the sky while I stood there watching the scene unfold.

With only a tiny gap on the horizon, that was all that was needed to instill some hope on what the sunrise could bring. As I turned on the road into the park I could see a little more potential on the horizon while I kept watch in my rearview mirror. Carefully navigating the potholes while trying to keep eyes in the back of my head watching the light develop, the anticipation for something special kept growing until I parked my car and knew it was going to be quite a sunrise show at Swiftcurrent creek. This vantage point in Glacier National Park is a perfect place to be for sunrise in case some magic happens. Shooting right down the river as the sun comes up over the mountains in the distance, with the right conditions like on this morning it just sets the river on fire as the sky lights up. It's a total sensory overload experience and one of the reasons that I love Glacier and Montana so much.

On this evening, the whole scene came together as the sunset lit up the sky in this beautiful mountain valley in Many Glacier, Montana.

With dramatic skies from a clearing storm, the clouds turn shades of pink, purple, and blue.

Glacier National Park in the summer is an alpine paradise, filled with wildflowers and glorious mountain peaks, and it's this beauty that keeps me coming back year after year.

Depending on the year and the time, this field could be filled with Indian paintbrush, glacier lilies, monkeyflower, or a number of others. During my visit one year, it was the purple asters taking a turn. These beautiful little button flowers look especially vibrant when they take over a field like this. On a morning hike, I timed it so that Mount Reynolds in the distance caught the first warm rays of sunlight. A perfect start to the day!

It's a picture-perfect scene in the Northern California Redwoods, one that felt like an enchanting fairy tale in the forest. Redwoods National Park, California https://www.chrisbyrnephotography.com/photo/ephemeral-redwoods-fog-flowers-forest-scene/ https://www.chrisbyrnephotography.com/images/xl/WebsiteChrisByrnePhotography.1750-460.jpg EPHEMERAL The coastal redwood forests of Northern California are among the most awe-inspiring ecosystems I've had the privilege of photographing. These towering giants seem to capture the moisture from the air, and on mornings like this one, the fog rolls in from the ocean and envelops the dense groves in a mystical haze. As I stepped out of my car that spring morning, I knew I was in for something special. Rhododendrons were in full bloom along the roadside, and the fog I'd been hoping for was already blanketing the forest floor. When I stumbled upon this tree with its perfect shape and branches heavy with flowers, I knew it was exactly what I had envisioned. Positioned right in front of a trio of strong, ancient redwoods, with the fog adding the finishing touch, this scene had the ideal atmosphere to create a truly dramatic forest portrait.

A little strip of green seems to be trying to stretch something out. I had no luck with the aurora during the entire week-long trip and thought to myself that this was better than nothing. So I gathered my gear and walked out to the waterfall to do some long exposures and hope that with some camera tricks I'd be able to capture the green lights. Then, no more than five minutes after setting my camera up, the Nordic gods flipped a switch and the aurora instantly rose above the mighty waterfall as quickly as a curtain being raised on a stage. And it held almost still for the next 20 minutes. So vibrant to the naked eye, the aurora filled the sky and I couldn't contain my excitement. Grinning from ear to ear and yelling out to the gods! A final curtain call for the trip.

As I came around a bend in the road, I saw a mountain peak in the distance with a beautiful curving leading line. I drove right past it before my brain even registered what I had seen. After a moment of reflection, I realized the scene, and immediately turned my car around to find a spot to pull over and get the shot. I've passed this location numerous times over the years, and it's never once looked the same.

This is my preferred way to photograph from the air—seeing it with my own eyes rather than through a screen on my drone. It's a way to fully immerse myself in the scene. From the braided rivers reflecting the sky to the neon-green mountains and turquoise pools, I was in awe of this place, thrilled to capture it all in one frame.

A powerful, meandering force of water, silt and sediment carving its way in every imaginable direction. Layers of huge rivulets in a scene that is a couple kilometers across and photographed from the air in a small plane. It was my first ride above these rivers and sparked a fascination with these deltas for me that will never die.  Iceland (2018) https://www.chrisbyrnephotography.com/photo/470/ https://www.chrisbyrnephotography.com/images/xl/WebsiteChrisByrnePhotography.1750-417.jpg https://www.chrisbyrnephotography.com/photo/medusa-iceland-aerial-photography/ https://www.chrisbyrnephotography.com/images/xl/WebsiteChrisByrnePhotography.1750-416.jpg MEDUSA The river deltas in the highlands of Iceland create some of the most natural, abstract scenes I have ever witnessed. Only visible from above, you would have no idea this landscape exists by standing at the river's edge. I photographed this during my very first flight over these river systems, and since then, every flight has been filled with the same anticipation and excitement. While you have an idea and a hope of what you'll see, it's always a surprise until you're actually in the air. But you never forget your first time. These waters seem to flow in every direction at once, yet all ultimately lead to the sea. They fold over and under themselves, with tendrils curving tightly and precisely, yet also randomly. It's beautiful and mesmerizing.

Hidden away in a gorge in South Iceland, this 98-foot waterfall is often overlooked in favor of its more famous neighbor. Yet, on every trip to Iceland, I make sure to pay her a visit.

A beautiful gem in Iceland with turquoise blue water and lots of character. I come to see this waterfall every time I visit Iceland and enjoy exploring her different angles and walking around the ledge below what you see here. It's my favorite place in the country and one that when you stand in her presence you cannot help be in awe of Mother Nature and feel alive!

Tour buses arrive throughout the day, and the campgrounds are full overnight. Thousands of people stand at the base each day to get their photo taken. Yet if you show up in the middle of the night during the midnight sun, it's quiet, free from crowds, and possible to capture a beautiful photo of her all alone—made even better with a cotton candy sky reflecting in the river as sunset bleeds into sunrise.

Hoards of people flock to Seljalandsfoss as part of the "Golden Circle" tour, making it one of the few places in Iceland that can feel a bit like Disneyland. However, if you visit in the middle of the night during summer, it's possible to have the falls all to yourself as you stand behind them, watching the midnight sun set through the powerful veil of water. The roar of the waterfall echoing off the canyon walls is so loud, you can hardly hear anything else—a truly immersive soundtrack from Mother Nature.

These "diamonds" are the result of the receding Vatnajökull glacier, the largest in Europe, which breaks off enormous icebergs into the Jökulsárlón lagoon. These bergs float around for weeks, breaking down into much smaller pieces. Eventually, they are swept through a channel into the ocean and washed back up onto the beach. Many are polished and clear, with shapes as unique as fingerprints. Each one adds to the magic of this beach, making it one of the most special places in Iceland. The unofficial name, Diamond Beach, couldn't be more fitting. Jokulsarlon, Iceland https://www.chrisbyrnephotography.com/photo/the-rush-big-island-hawaii/ https://www.chrisbyrnephotography.com/images/xl/WebsiteChrisByrnePhotography.1750-401.jpg THE RUSH This beach sunset on the Big Island of Hawaii isn't what most people imagine but it is a mesmerizing scene to be caught up in. The water rushes in and out of these blow holes near the shore with a force so incredible that great care needs to be taken when photographing. I treasure these moments of capturing the beauty of the light and the power of the ocean waves. Big Island, Hawaii https://www.chrisbyrnephotography.com/photo/bitches-brew-hawaii/ https://www.chrisbyrnephotography.com/images/xl/WebsiteChrisByrnePhotography.1750-400.jpg BITCHES BREW An ominous sunset hangs over the tide pools, adding drama to the turbulent, washing machine like lava rock drains in Hawaii. I spent a lot of time photographing these pools, watching as the water would rise from the surf and quickly fall into what seemed like a bottomless pit. At times, the rushing water would come in high and quickly and I'd find myself 50 feet from dry land, nervously wondering if a second wave would come in and completely take me out. I only had limited time to photograph here before catching a flight home and that time just happened to coincide with high tide. But when the sky started to light up with color like this, I knew risking my body and my camera gear was the only choice. Big Island, Hawaii https://www.chrisbyrnephotography.com/photo/mahalo-hawaii-rainbow/ https://www.chrisbyrnephotography.com/images/xl/WebsiteChrisByrnePhotography.1750-399.jpg MAHALO After spending a week in Hawaii I was treated to this scene just before heading to the airport. My life was soon about to change with the birth of our first child and a week soaking up the sun was just what the doctor ordered. Life was pretty good at this moment. I stood here filled with gratitude and had spent a couple hours photographing the tide pools and drains here in the volcanic rock ledge. As I packed it up and turned around this rainbow appeared and naturally I pulled out my camera gear once again. Taking in the beauty here almost made me miss my flight home and I wouldn't have been mad about that one bit. Sometimes a "thank you" just isn't enough, and with my heart so full it felt inadequate. But the Hawaiian word for it is so beautiful and just repeated over and over in my mind. For that specific moment in time and the greater time period I was at in my life.......Mahalo.

On still mornings, the water acts as a mirror amplifying the beauty of the scene. I visited the lake a couple of times during a summer trip.

Not far from Cannon Beach, water flows from a small creek right off this ledge and winds its way through the sand to meet the salt waters of the Pacific. Just imagine sitting here with the sounds of both the trickling waterfall and crashing waves, admiring the sky lighting up at sunset. If only a moment could last forever.

On this night I tucked myself against a rock face that normally has a full veil of water. But a dry spell left it only flowing down one side, allowing me to sit and take in the trickling sounds of the waterfall and the rush of the ocean making music on the rocks. All while I watched the sunset cast shades of orange and pink up into the clouds. I recall going through a rough patch in life at this time. A number of things had gone wrong for me and it seemed like I'd never catch a break again. But sitting here with the day winding down, it was the perfect place to just let go of it all and put the past behind me.

No businesses were open and our AirBnB host failed to mention this to us. Sure it was drizzling a little bit and the clouds here looked ominous, but it seemed like an overreaction. Nevertheless we were happy to have this entire little town all to ourselves for a night.

The water rushing right towards you, with a colorful palette of transitioning leaves for a backdrop, while a carpet of fallen leaves rests alongside the creek, just waiting for the heavier rains to sweep them away downstream. This is Ricketts Glen State Park in autumn. For many years, while living in Philadelphia, this was my nearest escape from the city to fully get away and immerse myself in nature. A perfect little park with too many waterfalls to name, it's these serene smaller creek scenes that I enjoyed photographing the most here.

Dappled light like this is a treat when photographing breathtaking landscapes. This image was taken about an hour before sunset, and shortly thereafter, the conditions worsened, and we were caught in the rain. My friend and I decided to hike out while we still had some daylight, knowing the entire trail back is prime grizzly country. We spent a couple of tense hours in the dark, on high alert, as with every crackle in the forest, we imagined something big and furry lurking in the darkness.

I cannot count how many times I have been here in every season of the year. On this particular day, I was blessed by the waterfall gods with what I'd consider to be the absolutely perfect amount of water flow for this beautiful beast, filling the wall from side to side.

It was May, and I was wearing waders, but as each minute passed, I grew colder and colder. The perspective of the creek pouring off the ledge in a perfect, large cascade for the foreground was something I wasn't going to give up on until I felt I had nailed the shot. Soon enough, I was freezing! Having to wipe water off my wide-angle lens after every shot I attempted made me begin to question my life choices and the near-numbness of my limbs for the sake of a photograph. Finally, I couldn't take it any longer, so I hoisted myself out of the water and hoped for the best. And this is the result.

Near Cape Perpetua, the bottom has dropped out of a drainage area, forming what is now known as Thor's Well—a seemingly bottomless pit that swallows sea water as the surf surges over the ledge. Standing near its edge at high tide requires a certain level of reckless bravery and constant vigilance. The last thing you want is to get swept away, with no bottom in sight. But when the right conditions align to capture a moment as perfect as this, sometimes the risk is worth it.

Built on a mountain ridge with massive stones, it is a marvel unlike anything I have ever seen with my own eyes. Listening to our guide describe the construction methods and the building effort had my head spinning in disbelief at what man can accomplish. I had two opportunities to photograph this world of wonder: once in the afternoon and again the following morning. When we first arrived, the entire site was enveloped by clouds. Our private guide must have seen the disappointment on my face, as he told me upon arrival, "Do not worry, soon she will reveal herself." And he was right. Following along with our guide in the fog, I listened intently to what historians had pieced together (the Incas had no written language or records). And when the clouds began to break, just as our guide promised, I was able to peel away from the group to take the path to higher ground and reach this classic vantage point. With storm clouds and rain in the distance, a brief window in the sky let the sun shine through for just a few minutes, casting beautiful afternoon light upon the ruins. In that brief moment, the long journey to get here was all worth it.

There were few clouds in the sky and I was content simply walking on the sand and listening to the waves crash. Then, about twenty minutes before the sun went down, some wispy clouds began to blow in off the ocean and gather on the horizon. As I wandered around, this boardwalk caught my eye with its weathered path and leading lines stretching right to the horizon where the colors were starting to develop. I could now tell I was in for a treat that night. With the clouds streaking and mimicking the converging lines of the wooden path, a more interesting and balanced composition began to emerge. The only question that remained was just how much that sky would burn!

This magnificent tree is believed to be 500 years old. With its its massive, sprawling branches stretch out like never-ending tendrils in every direction—one of the most unique trees I have ever laid eyes on. Standing 66 feet tall with branches that stretch 180 feet long it certainly is an impressive display of what nature can create. I was able to spend several hours here on a weekday morning. For most of my time I was the only person there, exploring every angle before stepping further back to take it all in. This image I created is a six shot panorama to best represent the impressive size and intricacies of what I was looking at. To understand the sheer size of this beauty, it produces shade covering 17,000 square feet! And on this winter morning in South Carolina, it still looked so vibrant and green as if it was the middle of spring.

Located on Johns Island near Charleston, South Carolina, it is believed to be 500 years old. With it's enormous and sprawling branches reaching out like never-ending tendrils in every direction this ancient oak is one of the most unique trees that I have ever laid eyes on. I was able to spend several hours here on a wonderful Tuesday morning and was mostly alone. Every thirty minutes or so a car would pull into the small parking lot and a couple people would check out the tree for a few minutes and be on their way.

It fills up a hundred little seasonal creeks that all converge at this crack point in the bedrock. This area is now closed off to the public, and only the grizzly bears and mountain goats can enjoy this view. Glacier National Park, Montana https://www.chrisbyrnephotography.com/photo/wall-street-zion-narrows/ https://www.chrisbyrnephotography.com/images/xl/WebsiteChrisByrnePhotography.1750-274.jpg WALL STREET This section of the Narrows in Zion National Park is where the canyon really converges into a tight slot. Standing on the river rocks and facing upstream, it was the glowing amber sliver of light in the back of this section that made me pause and compose an image. Now the reflected light throughout the Narrows is incredible. However in this part with the walls growing closer and striations in the sandstone naturally leading the eye, it was this "light at the end of the tunnel" effect that begged for me to press the shutter.  Zion National Park, Utah https://www.chrisbyrnephotography.com/photo/northwest-spirit-multnomah-falls/ https://www.chrisbyrnephotography.com/images/xl/WebsiteChrisByrnePhotography.1750-273.jpg NORTHWEST SPIRIT Multnomah Falls in the Columbia River Gorge is an Oregon icon that drops over 620 feet in total. This waterfall is always in full force early in the spring, surrounded by lush green ferns, moss, and trees. Multnomah Falls, Oregon https://www.chrisbyrnephotography.com/photo/multnomah-falls-oregon/ https://www.chrisbyrnephotography.com/images/xl/WebsiteChrisByrnePhotography.1750-271-copy.jpg MULTNOMAH Just east of Portland, Oregon you can find Multnomah Falls in the Columbia River Gorge. This stunner of a waterfall creates a magical scene in the springtime as it drops 620 feet over two tiers and is surrounded by lush green forest, ferns and moss.It's one of Oregon's most popular attractions, with the parking lot often packed during the spring and summer. To get this shot with no one on the bridge, I had to arrive well before sunrise and wait. The early bird definitely beats the crowds.

Punchbowl Falls is probably its most famous landmark. A beautiful watering hole, popular with swimmers in the summer, it's a great place to spend an afternoon admiring the waterfall. I photographed this in 2015, and several years later, a devastating wildfire that began on the Eagle Creek trail changed the landscape forever. Unfortunately, this vantage point no longer exists, as a huge chunk of the canyon wall collapsed into the creek, blocking this view. However, one can still access the falls, though with a bit more difficulty. I still look upon this image quite fondly as a memory of a day spent photographing waterfalls with a good friend. However, now it holds much more meaning: nature is fragile, and beauty can be fleeting. Enjoy it while you can, and do your best to protect nature at all costs. Columbia River Gorge, Oregon https://www.chrisbyrnephotography.com/photo/metlako-in-the-mist-oregon-waterfalls/ https://www.chrisbyrnephotography.com/images/xl/WebsiteChrisByrnePhotography.1750-267.jpg METLAKO IN THE MIST I spent this morning with a good friend hiking on the Eagle Creek trail back in 2015. So much has changed since I took this image, and yet the forest is still just as beautiful. There was a small platform that I stood on to compose this photograph, but a year later a winter landslide took it out and sent it tumbling off the cliffside into the water below. Not long after that, the Eagle Creek fire started in September 2017 and devastated the entire trail, along with many other sights on the Oregon side of the Columbia River Gorge. This spurred a cycle of regrowth and rejuvenation in the understory, while at the same time infuriating many people over how the fire was started. Looking back on this photo now, I think of the great day I had with my friend. I still remember how beautiful Metlako looked that morning. We managed to time it perfectly — though unplanned — to see the mist rising from this powerful drop just as the sun broke through the treetops. Adding a little warm glow to the natural framing of the falls. It also serves as a reminder that all life is fragile (not just human), and that beauty can be temporary. Enjoy every moment while it lasts, without taking it for granted. This exact view is gone forever, only to be seen in photographs now.

To this day, the Narrows is still my favorite hike. I love the cool canyon air, the trickling sounds of the river, the echoes off the towering walls, and the musty smells. Every time I see this photo I'm transported right back to that place and how it touches each of my senses. It is one of the rare spots that I hope to return every year.

That morning, we decided to head into Cades Cove to check on the dogwoods at Sparks Lane. When I arrived, I immediately noticed that another dusting from the night before had covered the mountains in the distance, and I was eager to see what else might develop. With the dogwood trees full of spring buds, I knew that once the sun crested the mountain ridge to the east, something special could happen. And right on cue, the rising sun bathed the background trees in an orange blaze, creating the perfect moment I had been waiting for.

Creating this image was one of the most memorable experiences of my life. For 800 years, the volcanic system on the Reykjanes Peninsula lay dormant—until March 2021. As soon as the eruption began, I became captivated by the chance to witness it up close. It was such a rare opportunity: to hike out to an active volcano and stand so close to one. But with pandemic-related travel restrictions in place, I had to watch the eruption unfold online for months. When travel finally reopened, I booked a trip in June. I drove straight from the airport to the volcano only to be greeted by thick, unmoving fog. Hoping it would clear, I slept in my camper van before attempting the hike. But when I awoke, I learned that during the night lava had flowed over the main hiking trail and the area was now closed. I spent the rest of that trip exploring other parts of Iceland, hoping the site would reopen—but instead, the eruption took another twist and the volcano went dormant. I returned home a bit defeated, but kept monitoring the activity closely. Just a couple of months later, I got my second chance and was able to redeem myself—and this time it delivered the most epic scene that I have ever laid eyes on. The hike out was long and a bit strenuous, up and down over several ridges, each a few hundred feet high. My friend and I were buzzing with excitement and we kept asking each other, like impatient kids, "Are we there yet?" We would get around a bend, see a glimpse the volcanic cone in the distance and feel thrilled—only to realize the trail still stretched far ahead. All we knew was that we wanted to get as close as possible to launch our drones and immerse ourselves in the experience of the eruption, feeling the heat, smelling the sulfur and getting the absolute best view that we could. After a final climb, the entire valley opened up before us with the steaming, bubbling volcano in full, awe-inspiring sight. Exhausted but exhilarated, we noticed a thick layer of clouds lingering to the west, beyond the smoke rising from the lava cone. Then the sun dipped just low enough to cast golden beams through the clouds—and we stopped in our tracks. It was one of the most raw, violent, and beautiful moments I've ever experienced. New earth was forming before our eyes: a molten cauldron spilling veins of fire into the valley below. Light from the heavens broke through the steam and cloud cover, illuminating the black-crusted lava like a spotlight on a living, breathing force. The hike was over. We had reached our destination and I launched my drone as quickly as I could to capture this fleeting moment of our Mother Earth awakening.

Creating this image is one of the most memorable days of my life. Once the eruption began earlier in the year I became fascinated with seeing it for myself. However on my first trip it was not to be as she went dormant. A couple months later I returned and was rewarded with the most epic sight that I have ever laid my eyes on. Making the long hike out, over several steep hills, I was in awe when I first got to gaze at this natural phenomenon. As I got closer to the best vantage point, light beams broke through the sky adding the most incredible sunset display to an already astonishing scene. Witnessing brand new land being created with the lava fountain shooting high and spilling over the crater, I could not believe my eyes. Seeing the power, fury, and beauty of Mother Nature all at once was a live changing event. I spent nearly the entire night here, using every tool in my camera bag to make sure I captured this once in a lifetime scene as best as I possibly could.

The stark contrast at night of the completely black land against the burning orange light, with tendrils of lava moving about, was extraordinary to witness. With the volcanic gases in the air and the heat from the lava field, it felt like a scene straight from Mount Doom in Middle Earth—a beautiful armageddon, if you will. I saw this section while flying with my drone and found the rivulets beginning to fan out to be quite fascinating.

Conditions at Fagradalsfjall during the 2021 eruption were typically harsh, with the volcano setting the entire hazy night sky aglow and thick clouds often obscuring the view. But on this evening, with a break in the clouds, I knew the vision I had in my head was finally possible. This image was impossible to capture in a single exposure due to the vastly different lighting conditions. To create the photograph, I took two separate images—one of the lava and one of the sky—using different camera settings. One was captured with my drone high in the air, and the other with my DSLR, both pointed toward the northern sky. The final image is a blend of those two shots, resulting in an incredible depiction of two natural phenomena in one frame.

Iceland https://www.chrisbyrnephotography.com/photo/windswept-iceland-aerial-photography/ https://www.chrisbyrnephotography.com/images/xl/WebsiteChrisByrnePhotography.1750-156.jpg WINDSWEPT I imagine that if you could see the wind moving through the air, this is what it would look like. Instead this is the organized chaos of meandering waters in a river delta system in Iceland. Capturing these aerial photographs from above was an incredibly experience that gave me an entirely new perspective on the landscape. It's a special sight—one that reveals patterns invisible from the ground, with no hint that such beauty lies just overhead. An abstract painting only visible from the air.

It is here that the very ornate Stave Church in the Vestmannaeyjabær harbor resides. Completed in 2000, the church was erected to commemorate the thousand-year anniversary of Iceland's conversion to Christianity. A gift from Norway to Iceland, it is actually a replica of the Haltdalen Stave Church that was originally built in the 1170s. I captured this image at sunset with a warm glow from the west illuminating the front details of the unique black church. In my opinion, it's the most beautiful little church in all of Iceland.

Standing here, surrounded by the sweet scent of the flowers, I wished I could bottle it up and take it with me. I photographed this at nearly midnight, with the neon green summer grasses glowing under even lighting. It was a magical scene gazing at the iconic waterfall in the distance. I stayed for hours soaking in all the sights... and the smells.

From about a thousand feet up, the view is breathtaking, with the lighthouse shining its light over the cape. As a morning storm over the Pacific collides with the rugged coastline at sunrise, it creates a striking and special moment behind the light tower—truly a quintessential time capsule of the Oregon Coast.

Too thick I thought to myself walking up the trail into the redwood forest. Mist always makes for nice images here. It separates the trees and simplifies everything with a dreamy feel. But I was hoping for light beams. I knew that once the sun got high there would be a chance, but also the weather had this place socked in for days as that typical pacific northwest weather can do. So I set out with a chance of sun in the forecast to my favorite grove and hoped for the best. I had been there for about an hour and decided to head out when things cleared just enough for a brief five minutes to capture this moment. Had I been anywhere else on the trail at that time I would have missed it! Thankful and content I felt blessed to be a witness.  California Redwoods https://www.chrisbyrnephotography.com/photo/the-veil-columbia-river-gorge-waterfalls/ https://www.chrisbyrnephotography.com/images/xl/WebsiteChrisByrnePhotography.1750-140.jpg THE VEIL The power of water falling from Upper Bridal Falls creates its own little weather system, with a wind tunnel and rising mist. On clear days, as photographed here, when the sun gets high enough to shine through the trees and the mist catches it, you get this beautiful added atmospheric element of light beams. I watched this interplay of light and water create phantoms in the air for as long as it lasted. A mesmerizing morning in the Columbia River Gorge.

Post-holing with each step on the way down, we were unsure what it would look like, or if the mist from the powerful waterfall would prevent the powder from sticking.

However, the storm was too intense and the park was closed for a week. Biding my time in the Eastern Sierras until the park reopened, I was one of the first dozen cars through the gate that afternoon and marveled at how quiet the place was without the usual crowds. After some time, I made my way to the river's edge, where the snow had remained untouched for a week, forming beautiful curves and a perfect reflection in the still water. I sat and waited. Gray clouds hung over Yosemite Valley, and if there was any chance they would clear, I wanted to be right there to witness it. As luck would have it, the late afternoon storm slowly moved out, and a small gap in the clouds formed to the west. Just enough for the sun to illuminate the glorious El Capitan rock face in golden light. Needless to say, I was grinning from ear to ear, all alone, in one of the most beautiful places on earth at sunset.

Carved into a block of volcanic rock, the artifact is enormous—yet still extremely difficult to find—and I intend to keep it that way. Even though I recognized the mountain range and knew the general area where it existed (armed with a landmark that brought me within fifty yards of it), I still spent several hours climbing over boulders and walking in circles to locate it. The whole time, I was within 200 feet of it. Naturally, I was ecstatic when I finally laid eyes on it. As I studied the careful carvings and the details that covered every inch of the rock, I couldn't help but think about the person—or people—who created it thousands of years ago and the time it must have taken. Oh, the extraordinary stories they must have wanted to tell to the gods above.  . . . . . . . https://www.chrisbyrnephotography.com/photo/nourish-the-soul/ https://www.chrisbyrnephotography.com/images/xl/WebsiteChrisByrnePhotography.1750-114.jpg NOURISH THE SOUL (PANORAMA) This waterfall in the lush forest of Washington has it all.

Only accessible at low tide, I was fortunate to time my visit with the rising sun in the spring. With just enough mist filling the cove from the crashing waves, the sun's rays illuminated the fine moisture particles, while the sound of the waves echoed against the steep, rugged walls.

This location is almost too good to be true, with a perfect mountain backdrop, and I knew it was a place I had to photograph. After looking on a map and speaking with the owner, I was excited to find out that the Milky Way would rise right above the famous mountain. That's when the wheels started turning in my head to create something special. I made arrangements to photograph the sunset and stay the rest of the night, no matter how long it took, to capture the celestial scene. My vision was to photograph throughout the entire time period and combine the images into one that encapsulated the experience. I needed clear skies and hoped for some color at sunset—and that's exactly what I got! Arriving early to scope out the best lines of lavender, I set my camera on the tripod and didn't move it for the next four hours. As a blazing sunset turned into a brilliant display of the Milky Way in the night sky, my camera remained steady, capturing it all. This blended image, created in Photoshop, shows exactly what I experienced that night in one single, perfect frame. A magical memory that will stay with me forever.

Underneath Reynolds Mountain, the snowmelt runoff in the summer creates streams down into the valley in every direction, rejuvenating the beds of wildflowers and creating a scene out of a fairy tale. I vividly remember sitting here one morning as a storm was clearing at sunrise, just listening to the music of Mother Nature with the cascading waters all around me and the birds calling. Sometimes, life is but a dream.

And then, of course, the sound of her tremendous roar!

I remember this morning quite well. It was a bit nerve wracking being the first car driving on the winding forest road up here with 10 inches of fresh snow after a week straight of rain. If I got stuck it was likely I'd be the only person dumb enough to drive there that day and I was out of cell service range. But when I arrived at the parking lot, a sigh of relief came over me along with a smile across my face at what my eyes were seeing. I knew the potential for a special photograph was waiting in the woods. I hiked down to the falls alone in a winter wonderland with the snow muffling any noise. It was so peaceful and quiet until I got close enough to hear the roaring falls. Coming around the bend I was thrilled beyond words to see a full curtain of water coming down. Which was something quite special and a very rare sight to see here as typically the right side of the falls is only a trickle. The beauty that Mother Nature gives us often leaves me searching for the right words to describe it. I guess that's why I prefer to use a camera to tell the tale. But I recall standing here smiling and feeling so content, all by myself looking at this perfectly gorgeous scene. Taking the sights and smells and sounds all into me. To be a part of me — in that one moment that I didn't want to end. And I thought how fortunate I was to be standing there, just me, at my favorite waterfall in Washington with absolutely perfect winter conditions. Moments like this are as ultimately "present" that I can be in a moment. Not thinking about anything else besides that exact place and time that I'm in on the big timeline that is my life. Moments that not only take my breath away, but quite literally make time stand still just briefly enough for me to understand precisely where I am in the universe and grand scheme of it all. And it is these moments that I strive for and hope to fill my life with.

But crouch down under the canopy and another world is opened up. The twisting branches and rainbow of fall colors with light filtering through is truly an iconic scene. I've photographed this incredible tree numerous times over the years and on this morning she was looking picture perfect.

Though it often goes unnoticed by many visitors due to its modest height, the line of people waiting to photograph it each fall season speaks to its undeniable charm. When you crouch beneath its canopy, however, a whole new world unfolds. The twisting branches, the vibrant palette of fall colors, and the light filtering through create an undeniably beautiful scene. I've enjoyed photographing this remarkable tree many times over the years, and on this particular morning she was looking absolutely picture-perfect.

This now famous Japanese Maple tree really comes to life in October with a kaleidoscope of color and draws quite a crowd. On this particular morning the fog was lingering in the garden for awhile giving the autumn veil a soft background and afforded me the opportunity to take my time to really appreciate and capture this amazing tree's beauty.

In October it bursts into a kaleidoscope of hues, drawing quite a steady flow of visitors. On this particular morning, lingering fog created a soft backdrop allowing me to take my time and fully appreciate the tree's beauty as I captured its stunning transformation Portland Japanese Garden | Portland, Oregon https://www.chrisbyrnephotography.com/photo/firebird-portland-japanese-garden/ https://www.chrisbyrnephotography.com/images/xl/WebsiteChrisByrnePhotography.1750-13.jpg FIREBIRD (PANORAMA) The leaves on this Japanese maple are ablaze and frame up the gnarly, twisting trunk perfectly during the peak of fall color in the Portland Japanese Garden. It's no wonder why this tree is now famous when it puts on an autumn display like this. Often drawing a crowd in the fall, I was the first person into the garden one morning ensuring I'd be able to capture this wider panoramic view without others disturbing the scene.

Its twisted trunk and long, outstretched limbs evoke the image of an elegant dancer, gracefully twirling through the air.

Though it may not be the famous tree that photographers flock to each year, it stands quietly on its own—vibrant and unbothered during autumn's stunning showcase. From the ferns at its base, up the twisting branches, to the colorful canopy above, this tree was as breathtaking as ever on this perfect morning spent in the garden.

The clear ice creates a remarkable contrast against the black sand, making it a one of a kind place to visit at either sunrise or sunset, when the light shines through the ice, sparkling like diamonds. Diamond Beach, Iceland https://www.chrisbyrnephotography.com/photo/all-night-long-vestrahorn-aurora/ https://www.chrisbyrnephotography.com/images/xl/WebsiteChrisByrnePhotography.1750-7.jpg ALL NIGHT LONG We had just about packed it in for the night. It was one o'clock in the morning, and the van was loaded with all our gear as we made plans for sunrise with my group of photography students. We had already spent some time at Vestrahorn, capturing nice images of the Milky Way and a streak of aurora in the sky. The group was a bit tired, and as we tried to figure out if and when we should head out for sunrise, a little more green began to appear above us. Then a little more, and a little more—soon it began to dance above our heads! Quickly unpacking all the gear and setting everyone up, we found perfect reflections in the thin sheet of lagoon water in front of the mountain. The northern lights filled the entire sky over the silhouetted peaks and danced all night long! With laughter and a constant chorus of "wow" and "oh my god" from our delighted group, we photographed it all and rolled into the hotel as the sun began to rise. The Nordic Gods had made our plans into the early morning hours, leaving us with an extraordinary memory to treasure. Vestrahorn, Iceland https://www.chrisbyrnephotography.com/photo/timeless-veil-skogafoss-iceland/ https://www.chrisbyrnephotography.com/images/xl/WebsiteChrisByrnePhotography.1750-6.jpg TIMELESS VEIL An iconic treasure of the southern coast, the powerful Skógafoss flows under a typically moody Iceland sky. Stripping away the color of this scene, made for a quieter image that better showed off her elegance with a long exposure.

Near the town of Grundarfjörður, it is said to be the most photographed mountain in the country. Needless to say, it never looks better than with the aurora borealis overhead. Kirkjufell, Iceland https://www.chrisbyrnephotography.com/photo/coming-together-iceland-bruarfoss-waterfall/ https://www.chrisbyrnephotography.com/images/xl/WebsiteChrisByrnePhotography.1750-4.jpg COMING TOGETHER Bruarfoss is without a doubt my favorite waterfall in Iceland—nothing else compares. The stunning glacial water, combined with the unique rock formations and cascades, creates a truly breathtaking scene. Despite numerous visits, I had never seen a perfect sunset there... until September 2019, when everything aligned and came together. The orange hues in the sky reflect the vibrant fall leaves in the brush. Against the backdrop of the stunning glacial waters, a beautiful palette of complementary orange and blue colors comes to life. Bruarfoss, Iceland https://www.chrisbyrnephotography.com/photo/church-mountain-kirkjufell-iceland/ https://www.chrisbyrnephotography.com/images/xl/WebsiteChrisByrnePhotography.1750-3.jpg CHURCH MOUNTAIN The meaning of Kirkjufell is Church Mountain, and it sits on the north coast of the Snæfellsnes peninsula. It is said to be one of the most photographed places in Iceland. It's no wonder. With the beauty of these waterfalls running below the famed peak, you just can't find a more serene view.

Local legend has it that the rock was originally a troll that didn't notice the sun rising and was petrified by its rays. I sat out on the edge of the bay waiting to see if the clouds or the Northern Lights would win the night. As the skies cleared and the Northern Lights danced above the troll along with the stars, the iconic sea stack became back lit by just a sliver of the moon giving the sea stack a perfect amount of glow. Hvitserkur, Iceland https://www.chrisbyrnephotography.com/photo/flame-thrower-iceland-northern-lights/ https://www.chrisbyrnephotography.com/images/xl/WebsiteChrisByrnePhotography.1750-1.jpg FLAME THROWER The Troll of Northwest Iceland, as Hvitserkur is also known, is a nearly 50-foot-tall sea stack that rises from Húnaflói Bay. According to local legend, the rock was once a troll who failed to notice the rising sun and was turned to stone by its rays. I sat on the edge of the bay, waiting to see whether the clouds or the Northern Lights would win the night. Soon it became clear as lady aurora awoke and danced above the troll alongside the stars. The iconic sea stack was backlit by just a tiny sliver of the moon—casting the perfect amount of glow across the scene.
