A landscape-oriented color photograph taken from a high vantage point showing a winding dirt road descending a red sandstone canyon in the desert. The road starts in the top right and zig-zags toward the bottom left. Three cyclists can be seen near the top of the road, and a truck is half-way down. The warm desert sun is illuminating the lower-right diagonal.

White Rim Trail, Canyonlands National Park, Utah

A portrait-oriented photograph showing A woman in cycling attire standing in front of a bike loaded up with bikepacking gear looking off-frame to the left, smiling. The bike is leaning up against a large tree and bushes and sandstone rock formations can be seen in the background. The red earth in the foreground, the woman, and the surroundings are glowing in the warm morning sun.
A landscape-oriented color photograph showing a pair of legs, cropped just below the knee, standing in the red earth of the desert, in front of a large sandstone boulder. The person's legs are covered in a thick layer of red sand that ends abruptly at a hard line at his ankles where his socks, which he is no longer wearing, were, but are now exposed because he is wearing a pair of low-cut dark blue crocs. His right leg is bandaged up near the knee.
A landscape-oriented wide shot showing a campsite in the foreground, and sandstone cliffs, snow-capped mountains, and tick clouds in layers in the distant background. There is a tent on the left side of the foreground, a mountain bike laying on the ground to the right of it with various camping items strewn across the ground, and then a woman dressed in black leggings, a black jacket, and a navy and orange winter hat, her back to the camera, looking off into the distance.
Landscape-oriented color photograph. A dark night sky glows a vivid blue in the upper two-thirds of the image with dark clouds and tiny dots of stars scattered across the sky. Just off center to the right a single tent glows yellow from a lamp inside, illuminating the surrounding area with warm orange light in a sea of almost complete darkness. The light shows a large oak tree just behind the tent, half lit, half in shadow, and a small area of desert earth is visible to the right of the tent. The rest of the bottom third of the image is almost completely black. The scene is quiet and calm.

Camp on the second night on the White Rim Trail

Landscape-oriented color photograph. A sprawling expanse of sandstone towers and rock formations stretches from just below the top of the frame at the left towards the middle of the frame at the right. Started at the bottom left of the frame a hiking trail can be seen in the distance, leading towards the center of the frame, where a lone hiker can just be made out on the trail. The sandstone is varying shades of brown and red, and the landscape is sprinkled with green sage and juniper bushes. At the center of the frame near the top half the tallest, proudest desert towers stand like skyscrapers against the light blue sky, which is filled with soft white clouds. The sun is somewhere above the frame, creating a slight haze towards the top of the frame.

Fisher towers, Moab, utah

Lanscape-oriented color photograph. A wide shot taken from high up on the side of a rock cliff overlooks a vast landscape of trees leading to a mountain range in the distance. The left third of the image is filled with a vertical wall of dark rock, with streaks of lighter gray colored granite throughout. Just visible are iron ladder rungs on the side of the rock face leading from the bottom left of the frame towards the top of the rock cliff. Two rock climbers are seen in action ascending the rock face. The climber closer to the left edge of the frame is in a light-colored long-sleeve shirt, with long curly hair protruding from her light-gray helmet. The second climber is a little farther and higher than the first and is in a long bright blue jacket and bright blue helmet, and is hanging looking down towards the first climber. A tall, mostly bare tree separates the rock wall from the rest of the landscape. The sea of trees is a smattering of dark and light green with bright yellow and orange-colored trees sprinkled among them. Near the center of the expanse some buildings and smoke or fog can just be made out. The tips of the mountain range have a small amount of snow and are glowing pink from the light of the setting sun. The sky is a bright blue with splashes of pink and orange near the horizon.
Landscape-oriented color photograph. A wide shot taken from the side of a jagged face of a rock wall looking down on a woman in a light-gray helmet, sunglasses, and plaid shirt, smiling as she rappels down the rock face. The woman is horizontally centered in the frame, and is rappelling towards the bottom of the frame, and she is facing towards the right, where the rock face is. Below her is a desert floor filled with sand, small desert shrubs, and boulders. Seen above and behind her are large clusters of giant jagged boulders and rock formations that build toward the upper right of the frame. In the distance a pale blue sky can be seen just below the top edge of the frame and towards the left in the distance is a rolling mountain range. The sunlight in the image is harsh and the giant rock formations behind the woman are casting deep harsh shadows on the ground below. In the bottom right corner of the frame there are a couple of different types of rope riggings tethering the photographer, who is out of frame, to an anchor from which the woman is rappelling. A small backpack is affixed to this anchor and is hanging on the side of the rock face as well..
Portrait-oriented color photograph. A wide shot of a large, colorful sandstone rock formation dominates most of the frame except for the upper left third, which is filled with the green and yellow leaves of treetops. The rock formation is cove-like, with the left side exposed to the vantage point and the right side closing in and dropping into shadow. Near the center of the frame a swath of sunlight illuminates a near-vertical face of the rock formation that has bands color in shades of yellow, red, and orange. A rock climber can be seen near the top of this vertical face in an active position, mid-climb.

Red River Gorge, Kentucky

Landscape-oriented color photograph. A tight semi-profile shot of a woman holding onto a green climbing rope in a purple belay device smiles and looks off frame to the right. She has blond hair pulled up in a ponytail, fair skin, and blue eyes, and is wearing a gray tank top. The image is cropped at her torso, and her hands are covered in chalk. The sun is bright and casting half of her face and torso in shadow. All around her in the background are the leaves and branches of trees and bushes, slightly out of focus.
Landscape-oriented color photograph. A low shot looking up at a rock climber who is balanced on the side of a rock face by only his toes and his right hand, which is gripping the rock above him. He is looking down and to the left at his next foot placement and his left hand is placed in his chalk bag, which is attached to his harness at his waist. He is positioned on the right side of where the rock face meets a soft edge that slopes at a different angle toward the left, and the left side of the rock face is in slight shadow. The man is positioned in the center of the frame, and above him the rock ends and meets a row of trees hanging over the cliff's edge, and beyond them a light blue sky is visible. The afternoon sunlight is soft but streams across the right face where the man is climbing, highlighting a climbing rope that can just be seen coming from below the climber and out of frame to the bottom right.

David, Red River Gorge, Kentucky

Portrait-oriented color photograph. A man in a bright orange jacket and orange-brown pants stands in the center of the frame, cropped at the knees, his head just above the center of the frame vertically. He is in sharp focus, and behind him the distance is a massive orange and brown rock face that almost fills the entire frame except for some small areas revealing a bright blue sky, slightly out of focus, and some brown grass and a green bush slightly less out-of-focus in the middle ground. He has fair skin, medium-length brown, tight curly hair, and a short beard. He's smiling and looking directly at the camera and holding a small piece of metal up in his right hand, which is casting a dark shadow on his torso from the direct harsh sunlight.

Portrait-oriented color photograph. A tight of a hand and wrist holding a piece of gray metal, shot from a hight angle with the hand, metal, and wrist in focus, but a background that is very soft and out of focus that appears as shapes swirling light and dark brown. The right hand has light skin and is coming from the sleeve of a bright orange jacket whose surface appears fairly dirty. The hand has deep rope burn wounds on the outside of the thumb and inside of the ring finger, with bits of adhesive stuck to the skin from torn-off bandages.
Landscape-oriented color photograph. A massive granite slab of rock fills the left side of the frame at an angle from the top left to the bottom right, which has streaks and scars of light gray, dark gray, and shades of orange. The right side of the frame is filled with a clear, deep blue sky, and a small three-quarters moon shines bright in the top right corner. The bottom left corner has a streak of deep shadow covering it. A female rock climber can be seen half-way up the rock face at a distance, mid-climb.

Lydia, Yosemite National Park, California

Landscape-oriented color photograph. A very wide shot from the perspective of inside a sleeping bag, the edges of the opening of which frame the entire shot, a deep red, with a left hand holding open the bottom edge. The feet of the person in the sleeping bad can be seen just in front of the opening at the bottom center of the frame. The scene beyond is a broad landscape of a set of three tall, prominent rock towers piercing a brilliant blue sky at the head of a small body of water which stretches out toward the feet of the sleeping back. There is a broad streak of bright orange sunlight coming from out of frame at the left illuminating the towers and the tips of some surrounding rock, and the middle ground is in cool shadow. A band of bright orange and pink streak across the center of the body, reflecting off the towers at the opposite end. Some small patches of snow can be seen at the base of the towers, and a handful of soft white clouds are in the sky beyond.
