Sunrise over the Nottely River in western North Carolina.

Although we tend to think of it more in the summer, the ocean is there all year.

This was inspired by the Disney short film “Piper”.

What could be more peaceful and refreshing than a quiet winter sunset?

This is my digital artwork, not a photograph.

This is a rework of my earlier picture, Purple Jubilee with a different color scheme. I don't actually care much for yellow myself, but I try to branch out and use all colors on occasion. I know some people really like yellow and blue together …

I saw a picture with purple tulips in the sunlight and wanted to create something like it in Vue. There are lots of tulips planted in my yard, but because they were planted in the shade, they rarely bloom. Tulips like lots of sunshine!

This is a winter version of Falling Light. I was particularly focusing on the colors and depth of the snow, inspired by a picture from a calendar - Long Forgotten by Michael Humphries.

A walk in the birch woods. I created this for an Autumn Colors 3D landscape contest. I used a different method of rendering the lighting which took longer to calculate (basically that's what 3D rendering does, the software calculates the light that would come from every point of the scene through the virtual camera lens), but I loved how warm and soft it made the scene.

There are probably several philosophical interpretations for this, but I didn't have any particular one in mind.

This photograph of the morning sun shining through the trees was taken a few feet to the right of Fertility, but on a different morning. I didn't often have time in the mornings to look at the view, but I always enjoyed when I had a chance to watch the sunrise.

When I lived in a basement apartment for a while, one advantage of being half underground was that the back “yard” sloped steeply enough that there was a sort of ravine between the rows of houses. Although there were signs of a volleyball net being there in the past, when I lived there it was too overgrown to get to. That was fine with me - I just liked the view! I took this photograph early one morning and edited it to give it a dream-like quality.
