Strange, isn't it, how all the best places for this ancient Japanese art are on the Pacific Rim, though they may be separated by great distances...
A view that would remind many an artist across the sea of home, if only in a small way: "Aerial Perspective".

"Take my breath away" is what I dubbed this one, for what other reaction is there to a sight like this, when you look down from Aprez-Vous summit to the Jackson valley, and up at an atmospheric river from parts unknown, bringing what we desire most of all: fresh powder. It's past equinox; it won't be long now...

Aside from the highest or most northerly of places, it's a bit early for this kind of display....but what a day this would be...to immerse one's soul in "A Wooded Path in Autumn"...
Painting by H.A. Brendekilde.

The town wasn't Chamonix to say the least...but Christmas on a slope like this was so much fun. I'd like to return one day...
Taken on Jackson Hole's South Pass Traverse: "Winter Wonderland".

Those long nights and the passing of the leaves inspire a lot of soul-searching, don't they? I wonder if it's for the worse or for the better, that this maiden is enacting "Thus Perish the Memory of our Love". Painted by John George Brown.

TFW the sun might be lower, the nights crisper, the life in the highest meadows perhaps readying for the return of the ice and snow...but for today, you get to lie back and take in that wide-open sky, during the last days of sweet, sweet summer...
Painted by Hans Dahl, "Siste Stråler".

Going through my archives, this capture of the blue skies re-emerging after stormy weather looked *really* summery...when better to share it than a month like August?
Captured by me, "A Burst of Sun".

There is something uniquely comforting about environs like this, a sea of grass, a splash of color, and a sense that you've been elevated out of this humdrum life into a field of dreams...
By Karl Wilhelm Diefenbach, "A girl with a flower".

There's a reason the billionaires *love* to spend their time here, and it's not just because the taxes are low...in any time of the year it's beautiful, but when I captured it it happened to be summer.
So why not, while it's summer, take in July vibes from "A Room with a View"?

It might look unassumingly domestic, but on a hot day when you're at once stressed and sleepy, a time like this where you're but a surfer in the sea of grass with the finest fabrics to decorate home and self seems almost like paradise...
From Charles Courney Curran: "A Breezy Day".

A true vision of what America can be...or a portal where you slip into that which is beyond? On a day like this we have to wonder what it must have been for the likes of Lewis and Clark, when they traversed the "Road to the Dream".
Taken by me one July in the Kootenai.

Somehow this is one of my favorite shots I've ever captured...maybe because it reminds me of what I dreamed life in The North was like when I was a child...or maybe because the Olympic Peninsula is just that beautiful when the air is clear and the days are long...
Taken by me one July in Cascadia: "New Terrain".

"The View from the Lost World", I call this one. Oh, it's rainier and more humid than it was, and the views are more mountainous, but up here on these Smoky Mountains is the forest that once covered the South during the last glacial period...and will again in the next.

"He Loves Me, He Loves Me Not"...well, we all know the answer she's hoping for, but really, even if it's *not* what she's hoping for, somehow disappointment doesn't sting as badly in a fairy-tale dream-world like this...does it?

What so many people imagine a summer to be...yet so few, in the haze of heat and murk down below, get to experience. For this is Earth at its most elevated.
Captured one July in the Hayden Valley of Yellowstone: "Summer Dreaming".

The sort of painting that could inspire an entire adventure novel, all by itself.

"The Chosen Place", I call this shot, because Star Wars fans might find it vaguely familiar: I had to have been almost exactly where George Lucas himself stood when filming the wedding scene. It wasn't the most obvious place to find, but once you're there, it's unmistakable.

There's nothing else that makes you feel like you're where your soul is supposed to be than that lulling, soothing sound of "Falling Water".
Taken by me during summer in Michigan's Upper Peninsula.

The video games were such a good likeness, weren't they? Revealed by the lightest of processing, a capture of a real place in California that raises the question: "Sim City or South Coast?".

There's nothing else quite like that sunlight catching a dust-laden sky, at a higher latitude than where it — or perhaps these grapes either — "should" be. Yet there they sit, as they're fashioned into the drink of the gods themselves....

"Hand of God, Take Me Home", I dubbed this shot, a summer vista from Portugal's capes, the beams pointing the way back toward America as I gazed westward. It was cool to experience, but I can't help but wonder if I should have returned at all...

"Dreams of Gold and White"...only this picture-perfect place is *real*. Chamonix on a spring evening. I've only skied it once, but looking back on it, I just have to go again. One day...

A few of us learn the "Bliss" hill of Windows XP is a real place, and gush over Sonoma, but what even fewer of us realize is that the hills of paradise stretch deep inland...so deep you could swear you were in the Midwest, if you hadn't visited the Midwest already and knew this is more like a dream someone might have had *about* the Midwest...
Taken by me in the Palouse of southeastern Washington: "Rolling Dreams".

We associate deserts with heat, but as the ice suggests at bottom right, it was chilly that day, but that only makes the stark beauty of these red rocks all the more impressive. You can practically see "Whispers in the Wind"...
Taken by yours truly at Arches National Park, Utah.

Like something out of those prehistoric reconstructions...only it's real, taken last year in California! But then again, the coast does have a way of making time seem like it truly is relative...
Taken in Ventura last August: "Sunset in the Lost World".

Taking a moment to appreciate the most hardcore of maritime vibes: the Lost Coast is nearer, but few approach the dreamy quality of Karl Wilhelm Diefenbach when he painted "Capri"....
Pro tip, BTW: the place really does look like his paintings, but all the views that are any good are from the water on a boat.

On the lam? No, just admiring those magnificent red towers of what might be the most beautiful suspension bridge in the world. Just traversing it you don't really notice it, even as a classic movie fan, but turn the saturation down, and you realize...it's "Modern Noir".
Captured on San Francisco's Golden Gate Bridge by me.

Cleanliness is half of faith, and it's everyone's responsibility to keep our environment clean. Civilized folks take pride in preserving the beauty of their surroundings. Littering or contaminating gorgeous spots is just symbol of ignorance.

"Dawn Will Turn to Silver Glass"...one of the most magical mornings I've ever been, and it was all because of the ripples and rapids of this little stream.
