El Dorado

Sky erupts in color over a city still asleep on a cold winter holiday morning. San Francisco, Christmas 2016.

Midsummer Night's Dream

Breath taking beauty of a summer night over Lake Tahoe. It's a popular tourist destination and overly crowded in summer months. But late in the night when everyone has gone home, you could witness scenes like this.

Overflow

Stars aligned for this image. A burning sky and enraged ocean creates the perfect drama. Shark Fin Cove, Davenport.

Scorched Relic

An explosive sunrise over San Francisco bay, at it's peak it seemed like a fire ball floating overhead. I have not seen such intense color ever since. San Francisco, 2016.

Drifter's Entry

This sunset came along after weeks of absolutely cloud less summer sky. A drifting cloud somehow lost its path and made it to California coast just in time for the sun-down. Davenport, CA.

Precarious

A subtly vivid sunset through smoky sky on SF coast. Gale of wind and a restless sea made it difficult to get the shot, with gigantic waves pounding the rock I was perched on. Lands End, San Francisco.

Beacons

Guiding lights for the sailors - the stars and the lighthouse.

Flames of Rodeo

Awe

Its ironic that your heart skips a beat when you feel the most alive. This was one such morning, whose jaw dropping beauty still feels unreal. San Francisco, summer 2016.

Unveiling

Watching a snowstorm clear in Yosemite is an experience hard to describe in words. As the mist starts to clear revealing the massive granite formations surrounding the valley, the grandeur of the place suddenly becomes apparent.

Swirling Warmth (2)

High tide caused relentless swirls as a dreamy dawn breaks over Golden Gate Bridge. City and the bay comes to life with warmth of the rising sun.

Serendipity

Travelers cruising along the coastal route through the hills lit up by stars and the milky way. Big Sur, California.

Remnant of an Inferno

A breezy dawn on arid California hills, moments after an inferno like sunrise. The cloud scattered in the wind gust and glowed like embers for quite a while.

Barricade

Late Bloomers

I was happy to find these few late blooming sun-flowers, they made the fiery sunset look astonishing.

High and Dry

Gales of Color

Grey Garrapata

Ephemeral

Rain soaked city wakes up to a sudden burst of color that faded as abruptly as it started. San Francisco.

Discovery

Taken on the same night as 'Inception', I found these nice foreground rocks while looking for different compositions.

Folds and Fire

An unique land formation that looks beautiful at day break.
