Title: Liquid Lane
My grandparents first introduced me to this environment when I was just a little boy. It was quite inspiring to return there
as an adult.
I guess you just see things differently when you are older and wiser; it was really great to come back here after all those years.
I'm pretty happy about how this picture came out. I captured the soft evening light pretty well and the whole scene just feels peaceful.
I cleaned this photo up in 2009 by removing some distracting spots from the water.

Title: Gentle Touch
A gorgeous, busy and colourful photo, taken at the forest nearby my home location. The branch is reaching out and gently touching the surface of the water.
I especially love the slightly hazy background.

Title: That one cold morning
Taken in the year 2006 on a cold, January morning.
The light falling softly through the barrier of trees was so inspiring. This photo has a special place in my heart and is, in my opinion, one of my best works.
The Print (follow link below) has a nice, white border around it.

Title: Whispering fields
A early morning bike ride took me to this gorgeous location just outside of my home town.
It is one of the few sunrise pictures ever taken by me, though I put it in this category because the focus is more on the surrounding nature than the sunrise itself.

Title: Trackless Journey
This photo was originally untitled, and another photo carried the name 'Trackless Journey'. However, I like this one a lot more than said other photo and it illustrates my afterthoughts better:
"A trackless journey, is like a journey never taken...
Only by looking back can one see the obstacles overcome..."
The way I see it, the journey we take in life is much more important than reaching our destination.
If a journey is easy, then can you really say you've learned from it? What good is reaching your destination, if you don't remember the journey itself?
In my experience it has been good to look back once in a while to see what life has brought me, and what obstacles I personally overcame. Everything you find on your journey shapes you, good and bad, but you always come out stronger.
I'd rather die on my journey, having enjoyed every up and survived every other down, than living to see my destination, but having gained nothing from the journey at all.

Title: Sand to Silver and never back
" Are you sand or are you Silver?"
A question that came to me when I loaded this photo to my computer after taking it.
Sand is an unreliable, uncontrolable substance that gets in everything and everywhere and can ruin all that is good.
Silver is the humble second. Valuable and clean. It enriches and is the envy of many.
Which one are you?

Title: Hang Time
An interesting angle on the hanging apples of my grandparents' apple tree. This particular tree has provided our family with plenty of applejuice and apple sauce for many, many years.
