Clearing storm by moonlight from Tunnel View, Yosemite
This photograph was made on a magical winter night two years ago, as the moon rose over Yosemite Valley while a snowstorm was clearing. As I wrote back then, I was glad to be a landscape photographer, because what other pursuit involves deliberately seeking out our planet’s most beautiful events?
But the most special moments in our lives are usually the ones we spend with the people we love. I hope your Christmas is filled with beautiful moments in the company of family and friends. To all who celebrate it, Claudia and I wish you a very Merry Christmas!

Only “die hard” photographers would be “playing” with their photos right now on Christmas Eve as we both are!! Merry Christmas and Happy New Year and hope 2018 is great for you and Claudia.
