Lone in the Hills.
Lost my heart in the black hills, The black hills of Dakota. Where the pines are so high, That they kiss the sky above.

Bison Bear Butte Double Exposure.
South Dakotan buffaloes roam wild and free around this area and is revered and respected highly by the people. It represents a will to survive and power to overcome adversity. Meanwhile, Bear Butte mountain is sacred for many indigenous tribes and a place for spiritual and religious ceremonies. So this double exposure photograph is an attempt to capture essence of a beautiful and spiritual relationship between man, animal and nature.

Winter's Whisper.
A chilly murmur from the creek and a delightful treat for the eyes. For a moment I was glad it was winter. A frigid yet beautiful evening at Spearfish Canyon.
The Sentinel.
The Watcher Of The Fields - A lone oak tree stands resilient keeping a close eye on this Wisconsin corn field under sky full of stars. Almost harvest time for these ripening corns. Had to fight a bit with the background light pollution which also illuminated the incoming clouds.
Nocturne.
A Starry Night at Spearfish Falls.
Drama in the Sky.
When the Sun leaves for the day, the sky tends to get emotional and we get to see such beautiful drama.

A South Dakotan Sunset.
The sun goes down as its rays gleam through an iconic barn in Western South Dakota. The warm rays of the sun kissing the grass plains sure did seem to excite some emotions. Wish there were some clouds to fill the vacant sky.
The Great American Eclipse in one single frame.
The full sun, the crescent sun, the diamond ring, the totality and back to normality. Pictures can never justify this wonderful event as compared to being there and seeing with your own eyes. The 2 and half minutes of totality went like a flash and I'd cherish it for my lifetime.
Love from the Sun.
A glimpse of Northern Lights caught from Bear Butte Lake, Sturgis.
