This is a tree at the Salton Sea's Red Hill Marina near Calipatria, CA. I cloned out all the geothermal plants nearby and composited a milky way shot taken a half hour later into the background. Not sure if it works or not.

Mesquite Sunrise I
Description
The day before I took this shot of Death Valley's Mesquite Dunes there was a raging sand storm with wind gust up to 70 mph that lasted into the night. The next morning it was still very windy so I decided to head up the west side of the dunes to be upwind, and also so I could catch the blowing sand in the light coming from the east. It's a kind of weird comp but does convey the conditions fairly well.

San Francisco Panorama
Description
I shot this pano from a famous vista called Twin Peaks. I normally would shoot this after dusk while there's still color in the sky but I only had one day to shoot SF so I had to compromise and shoot this one last. Twin Peaks is a pretty impressive view. You can see all the way down Market Street, City Hall, the Transamerica Pyramid, the Bay Bridge, AT&T Park and on and on. I'm definitely coming back to shoot this again.

Taken Dec 25, 2009 from the Bay Bridge overpass on Yerba Buena Island in San Francisco, CA. I was parked in a tow-away zone so I had to rush this shot a little. I should have use a much longer shutter speed to get longer trails but I'm pleased with the shot as-is.

View From the Ritz I
Description
I twilight shot at Miramontes Point, Half Moon Bay, CA. That's the new Ritz-Carlton in the distance - $450 a night (ocean view), $2900 a night for a presidential suite. I was reluctant to shoot any shots with this hotel in the frame but I gotta say it does blend well with the landscape. Others will disagree.
