Hearst Castle at Sunset

This is part of the magnificent Hearst Castle; the view to the right overlooks the beautiful rocky coastline of California. This photograph was taken just after a rainfall as the clouds opened up revealing the blue sky and allowing for a great sunset. As the sunset it cast this warm golden glow on this building just making it come alive and the wet tiles allowed for some interesting reflections of the fountain and building. 

New Mexico Landscape

This photograph was taken on my journey across the country with my friend, Kim. We traveled from Maryland to California by car.  Along the way, we hit some rough weather;  the rain came down so hard that it was difficult to see a couple feet in front of us.  In New Mexico, we came across some roads that had been flooded from previous rain storms. This image was taken in New Mexico when the rain finally started to let up, but in the distance we could see some more storm clouds approaching.
