  1. "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...

  2. 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".

  3. 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.

  4. 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".

  5. 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.

  6. 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.

  7. "Taking the Sluice" is what this feels like...a sluice made for cars, and honestly...when you make a monochrome picture like this into an ink-sketch, it has that video-game world quality that makes many a landscape in the American West seem like an old friend.

    Taken in Colorado on Interstate 70 near Glenwood Springs last summer.

  8. "Taking the Sluice" is what this feels like...a sluice made for cars, and honestly...when you make a monochrome picture like this into an ink-sketch, it has that video-game world quality that makes many a landscape in the American West seem like an old friend.

  12. They lie down a road seldom traveled, but it's perhaps the most beautiful grassland in the world: the Palouse Hills. When the fields bloom and the long, warm days of summer hit them just right, it does something for the soul...

    "Rolling Dreams", captured by yours truly.

  13. Oh, they edited out the city in the distance, but DAE remember Anakin and Padmé's wedding from "Star Wars"? It was filmed at a real location...which I've visited. Lake Como's Villa del Balbianello. Pro tip: you have to have your back right up against the building to get the view George Lucas used in the movie.

    One replicated by me with my iPhone camera, albeit in a small way; I call this shot "The Chosen Place". 🙂

  14. Captured in a photo: deep winter vibes (and despite how bright it looks it felt *cold* out there: 0 Fahrenheit with a stiff wind...). From Holland, Michigan: "Sunbreak in White".

  15. One of my all-time great road trips: US 395 all the way through the Eastern Sierra, in between storms during the snowiest winter of my lifetime. A shot that captures the vibe of that February journey, to "The Other Side of the Mountain"...

  20. The flutter of a breeze on the open window as the winds of a familiar ocean and a brand new year wake you up with the dawn...

    Captured one day on Cape Cod by yours truly, "Massachusetts Dreaming".

  21. Here in California, the world comes to life not in the summer, but in the *winter*, when for a few glorious months it looks and feels like you're in some summertime paradise...until you notice how short the days are.

    Perhaps the ultimate example I've ever seen, taken outside Santa Barbara in 2023: "How Green is my Valley?".

  26. It's getting to be that time of the year again: when the air is crisp, the sun is low, and every flake blowing off the mountain invites you to come up and play...

    Captured one winter's day in Utah: "Chairlift to Heaven".

  27. "Above It All". And not just literally; you could make any number of critiques of how the few who are already privileged get to live life like this, but you know what? This is one of those moments where I feel like I just want to be up there with them. Perhaps, one day...

  28. "Bonsoir, Palouse". Perhaps the most picturesque prairie in the world, right outside the charming (and friendly!) college town of Pullman, Washington, captured by yours truly.

  29. Suspiciously California-esque weather...only the sky is alien. And why does the building bear a suspiciously close resemblance to a certain Soviet structure in Crimea? I don't mean to make this into a puzzle, but I think it's all nice, how it comes together, in my "Seaside resort under two crescent moons in sepia".

  30. The sort of place that makes a summer spent anywhere else seem...well, just not like the real thing. From the lodge at Grand Teton National Park: "A Room with a View".

  31. I'm just a beginner, really, but Jackson Hole's South Pass Traverse has to be the most fun skiing I've ever done. The views...even the famous and incomparable Mont Blanc might feel challenged by the majesty of the Tetons. Taken over Christmas: "Winter Wonderland"

  32. The majesty of the horse, the beauty of the American Steppe's mountainous reaches, and the challenge of the coldest fog mother nature provides on this earth. My own capture of Utah in a November ice fog, "Horse of the Pogonip".

  33. Some of America's most iconic terrain, right here: Utah's Zion Canyon. You take the high road, and "I'll Take The Low Road".

  34. There's nothing else quite as crisp as being lofted up on one of those chairs, as you hold your skis and listen to the whispering winds as sun and shadow caress your face...

    My capture from Solitude Mountain, "Chairlift to Heaven".

  35. That feeling when you cross the continental divide...but it feels more like you're crossing into the shadow world. For western nights are the best nights...

    My capture from the Kootenai, "Road to the Dream".

  36. Despite the name you'll find more solitude at Jackson Hole than you do at Solitude Mountain, but this view was nothing short of dreamy when I was there. It might lack verisimilitude, but the edit brings across the vibe all too well, of a "Chairlift to Heaven".

  37. Taken by me from the South Pass Traverse at Jackson Hole: fresh powder in the spectacular landscape of the Tetons making for a true "Winter Wonderland".

  38. Arriving at Badwater after dark is...well, badass, but it also means the sun sets on you in the next valley over. Not that that's anything to fret over, for it too is beautiful. My capture of a specific view of it over the road, "Panamint Dreaming".
