We all appreciate the magnificent effects the atmosphere provides. From a sunset blossoming with color to a pair of crystalline sun dogs the synthesis of sky, light and weather provides endless fascination. The earth's weather events have become more extreme and unpredictable and while many of the images you may see as beautiful in color and form they are also cautionary—the color and form expressing drastic changes that we are, and will be, sustaining.

Most of the landscapes provide a context for examining human or animal behavior in nature—the steadfast determination of a deer wading through shoulder high snow, a modern day Sisyphus endlessly rolling a hay bale uphill in the face of an approaching storm, or the comedy that life presents when two people work in opposition.

All told, the images may seem to some, a bit of invention, but given the nature of mother nature coupled with our increasing influence, who can say that this is not reality?
