Zoomed in photo of very large waterfall, with heavily textured columns of brown water powerfully falling and surging back upward.
Minimalistic winter landscape photo: The frame is almost entirely white snow indistinguishable from the white sky. In the foreground is an X-shaped plant with small seeds visible around its stems. In middle ground are a few vertical lines of plant stems. In the distance appearing very small is a farmstead surrounded by a few bare trees.
Vertical photograph of patterned sunlight in water dancing on a golden sandy streambed. Keen eyes will notice near the center the subtle crescent curve of a small fish (Salt Creek pupfish) well camouflaged amidst the dappled light and ripples.
Landscape photograph of sweeping desert scene at twilight. A stony foreground ledge with a few bunches of dry grass overlooks a broad tawny valley empty save for a deeply incised arroyo that appears as a crack in the ground. Beyond is a dark, double-summited cone of a peak at top left, and still further off is a very steep-walled volcanic tower on the horizon. The sky above is gentle evening blue laced with misty pink sunset clouds.
February throwbacks: 1, 5, 10 and 15 years ago. Enlarge the watery one to play find-the-fish.
