World Landscapes

The World in Light has landscape photos from US national parks, the american southwest and other scenic locations in North America. There are also landscape images from Peru, Venezuela, New Zealand, The Netherlands, and Nepal. I'm gradually adding images from these and new locations, so please return to see my gallery again.

This is the first of four pages devoted to landscape images. To see more, use the More Landscapes link here or at the bottom of this page.

Amsterdam at Night
Amsterdam is a great city! Easy to explore entirely by foot, but also with an excellent mass transit system.




Saguaro Sunset
The majestic Saguaro Cactus in profile during a sunset at Saguaro National Park in Arizona.




Lower Lewis Falls #2179
An easy trail follows the Lewis River past the lower, middle, and upper Lewis Falls.




Waves of Stone
The Wave is both a photographers dream and nightmare. The range texture, color and shape of sandstone here is phenomenal. Getting correct photographic white balance to produce a photo that accurately reflects reality is a challenge. Every camera angle seems worthy of a photograph.




Lower Lewis Falls #2168
The Lewis River falls are truly spectacular and shouldn't be missed if you're traveling in this part of the U.S.




Yosemite Climber
This photograph of a rock climber was taken in Yosemite National Park in California.




Coyote Buttes #3
Coyote Buttes is a remote but beautiful area near the border of Arizona and Utah. It is a section of the Paria River Canyon and the Vermillion Cliffs Recreation Area that is full of amazing sandstone scenery.




Lower Lewis Falls #2171
The beautiful Lewis Falls can be easily seen a short distance from a highway turn-off in southern Washington.




Antelope Canyon #2
Antelope Canyon is a beautiful slot canyon located on Navajo land just outside of Page, Arizona. Flash floods have eroded the canyon walls into smoothly curved undulating shapes, that together with their color produce beautiful effects.




Riders at Sunset
Around the time of sundown, a popular activity in Cairo, Egypt is to ride horseback into the sand dunes around the pyramids of Giza.




Bass Harbor Lighthouse
Bass Harbor Lighthouse in Maine has been in operation since the mid 1800's.




Harbor View
Maine is famous for lobster and almost every coastal harbor there is filled with moorings for lobster boats.




Lone Boat
This lone dory waits in the harbor for the return of a lobster boat and its captain.




Green Beach #88
During a neap tide in Oregon, these rarely exposed rocks covered in seaweed became visible.




Green Beach #89
The beach and tidepools along Oregon's coast are fascinating places to visit during an unusually low tide.




Detroit At Night
This is another nightscape photo of the Detroit skyline.




The Narrows #13
The hike through the narrows is a wet one, often requiring wading. Depending upon the water level in the river, a hiker will spend about half of his or her time wading and the other half on sand at the base of the tall canyon walls.




Observation Point
The hike to Observation Point in Zion National Park is the most strenuous hike in the main portion of the park. But the hike is worthwhile, providing beautiful views up the canyon.




Angels Landing #31
Although Zion National Park is one of the smaller US national parks, it is arguably one of the most beautiful. The contrast of beautiful red sandstone against a deep blue sky is hard to beat.

Sensuous Sand
The windblown sand dunes of Death Valley sometimes take on smooth sensuous curves.




Barker Dam #2701
This is a photo of Barker Dam in Joshua Tree National Park in California.
