These narrow canyons, carved out of the Navajo sandstone, in northern Arizona, are nothing short of breathtaking. By arriving very late in the year - over Halloween - I managed to avoid almost all the other tourists, and spent several hours virtually on my own, finding natural abstract shots, every step of the trail.
Bryce Canyon National Park, Utah
Just a short drive east of Zion NP, in southern Utah, is another amazing national park. This one is full of sandstone columns called Hoodoos. To do Bryce Canyon NP justice, you have to get down to the floor of the Canyon, and hike the easy trails, as well as take in the vistas from many great vantage points around the Canyon upper rim. There is lots to see and shoot, from sunrise to sunset.
Death Valley National Park
This is another American National Park, located in eastern California. Most of these shots were taken near Stovepipe Wells, during a single 12 hour day, from sunrise to sunset. The number of natural abstract shots is limitless!
Natural Abstracts
We can all learn to transform our 'looking', into 'seeing' something in nature. It is simply a matter of time - time to slow down, time to focus [pun intended], and time to be inquisitive.
Man Made Abstracts
Whether on the dinner room table at home or in a country on the other side of the world, there are always interesting shots to be found. Just let the imagination run wild! These images were taken in three different countries.
Museum of Pop Culture (MoPOP), Seattle
This iconic landmark in Seattle, Washington, was formerly known as the Experience Music Project (EMP), and then the Science Fiction Museum and Hall of Fame (EMP/SFM). It was the brainchild of Microsoft co-founder, Paul Allen. It was designed by the famous American architect, Frank Gehry. A total of 21,100 specially shaped stainless steel and aluminum plates form the building's curved exterior. MoPOP is located right beside to the Seattle Space Needle, near the Seattle waterfront.
