Every summer, my dad and I take a trip fly fishing and exploring for photography spots, we have used Colorado for 6 different summers. My wife and I travel there often as well. Here are just a few of my stories from the area.

First up in Forest Lakes on Rollins Pass in the James Peaks Wilderness area. Third attempt at a night shot here as several times earlier, I arrived in late spring or too early in the summer to reach it due to snow drifts still blocking the way up.

Thor’s Well is part of Cape Perpetua on central Oregon Coast. Also called Spouting Horn by some, Thor’s Well was created over time by the constant crashing of the oceans waves that carved out an underwater channel.
