Peace

Rivers the color of glass, waterfalls between red canyon walls, and still black swamps that double whatever leans over them.

Long-exposure view beneath a pier at sunset, pilings receding to a burning horizon

Beneath the pier

Long exposure beneath a pier at sunset, the pilings receding to a burning horizon.

Turquoise river folding over a ledge between red sandstone canyon walls

Canyon falls

Turquoise water folds over a ledge between walls of red sandstone.

Fiery cypress reflected in still black swamp water

Ember reflections

Fiery cypress doubled in still black swamp water.

First snow on the lake

Alpine lake mirroring a cabin, gold aspens, and snow-dusted Teton peaks.

Misty beach at sunset in soft peach and lavender light, a dark forested headland at left and sea stacks fading into haze along the tideline

Fog at the tideline

The fog takes the sunset and spreads it everywhere at once — no sun, no horizon, just a shore breathing peach and lavender while the tide smooths the sand flat.

Flooded salt flats mirroring a pink and gold sunset sky, distant snow-capped mountains reflected along the horizon

Bonneville salt flats

An inch of rain over the salt and the desert becomes sky — pink clouds above and below, mountains adrift on the seam, nothing moving but the light.

Calm lake mirroring wispy clouds, a large lichen-covered boulder dusted with snow on the shore, forested far shoreline and distant hills

Glass and stone

A cold-morning hush in Grand Teton National Park — the lake gone to glass, first snow resting on the boulder, and the sky lying down on the water to look at itself.

Lone person walking across flooded salt flats at sunset, red alpenglow on the mountains behind, clouds mirrored in the shallow water

Walking on Bonneville

Sunset floods the Bonneville Salt Flats twice — once in the sky, once underfoot — and a lone walker crosses the seam between them while the last light burns red on the mountains.

White lighthouse with a red lantern roof and attached keeper's building standing on a green lawn under wispy white clouds

The lighthouse

Daylight is the lighthouse's day off — the white tower stands quiet over its green hill, red cap bright against a sky combed into feathers, the lamp resting until dark.
