Delicate Arch -- Arches National Park, Utah

(NickCarlson)
Thses shots were taken from a different perspective that the average tourist sees. We veered off the trail and ended up here. Carrying all my photographic equipment including my heavy tripod made this hike strenuous, but well worth it.

Carlsbad Caverns, New Mexico

(NickCarlson)
Created slowly over the millennia, Carlsbad Caverns' formations have been considered by many as the Eighth Wonder of the World.
Each movement of the earth, each drop of water, each puff of acidic air has left its mark on the caverns' formation. It began about 250 million years ago with the creation of a long reef in an inland sea. The sea eventually evaporated and left the reef buried under deposits of gypsum and salts.
Then, 20 to 30 million years ago, the Guadalupe Mountains were uplifted, fracturing the ancient reef. Groundwater seeping into these cracks combined with hydrogen sulfide gas from the oil and gas deposits below, creating sulfuric acid. This very strong acid carved out the large rooms and passageways that exist today.
Finally, about 500,000 years ago, after groundwater levels had dropped, the slow process of speleothem— stalactites, stalagmites, flowstone—formation began with a single drop of water. Drop by drop, and millions of years later we have what we see today!

Life on the Edge of the Western World

(NickCarlson)
These are shots taken in Palos Verdes, Ca. Most of the peacocks have lost their long feathers for the season, but I found a few that still have them. There are also a few shots from the cliffs...more seagulls, a few pelicans and a couple landscape shots I liked!
Please take a look and tell me what you think!

Flowers and plants that I love to photograph oh so dear! Some have the most fantastic colours and look really nice.

At around 3:30pm on 11-26-06 the pelicans at the Bolsa Chica Wetlands were putting on a show for many photographers. I'm glad I was one of them. Check out these shots and please tell me what you think. This was a lot of fun! These shots are posted in the order that they were taken.

The Huntington Gardens

(NickCarlson)
www.truelifeimage... Huntington Library, Art Collections, and Botanical Gardens is a collections-based research and educational institution established in 1919 by Henry E. and Arabella Huntington, in San Marino, Ca. Henry Huntington, a key figure in the development of Southern California in the early 20th century, was also an active collector of rare books and manuscripts, art, and plants. By the time he established the institution, he and his wife had amassed an extensive collection focusing on British and American history, literature, and art, as well as rare and spectacular plant specimens.

Sunrise at the Joshua Tree National Park Cholla Gardens. These cholla (choy-ya) are abundant here in the Pinto Basin area of this desert landscape due to larger amounts of groundwater and very porous gravel-like soil.
These shots are all HDR (High Dynamic Range) images...Multiple shots at different exposure settings merged into one.

Joshua Tree National Park

(NickCarlson)
From April 7th to April 15th I was away on a paleoecological field study. Me and a group of lucky students were given this wonderful opportunity. I was working side by side with the top dog within the USGS, United States Geological Survey. We were digging and collecting packrat middens that date back to about 40,000 years. Within these middens lie perfectly preserved vegetation, insect parts and bones. These natural time capsules help us reconstruct past vegetation and with that...climate! It was an absolutely fascinating and rewarding experience that I not only learned from, but was paid to do! Eight days without a shower never hurt anyone...;)
When... I got a chance I'd break out my camera but... not many photos for how much time I spent out there. It was the first time photography came secondary for me.
