A few of our photos.

Hey Sam here!

So I just read the L.A road trip blog, and a sense of envy has stricken me so profoundly that I almost wept. That sounds awesome! The list is definately something that should be carried with us!

Now obviously I have taken a lot of photos over the last few months, and none more so than when in America with you guys! So I thought I'd create a little blog where I upload some of the best shots I had of our road trip time in terms of photographic beauty ... and will soon upload a similar one but of shots of us! Hope you enjoy!

This is taken on one of those typically dreary Seattle days,
and this seagull, just gazing into the distance,
reflects the reflective mood I was in that day.

 This is the fire lookout on the top of Mount Pilchuck, at
sunrise after we had spent a wonderful night there,
and before we began our beautiful, although ultimately almost costly, descent.

What better sight can a man have from his front door than this? Immaculate.

 The typical scene at the house. This goes some way to epitmomising
why I fell in love to naturally with this place!

During our trip around the Olympic Peninsula, the quaint and cosy
little streams rushing and trickling through the deep green of the
rain forest creating a magical place indeed. I believe this was
taken on the day of our trip to the midnight hot springs. What a place!

 This is creek falls, near the quite luxurious and hospitable Quinalt lodge.
 It was raining when I took this, and just managed to squeeze the shot out!

This is lake quinalt, one quiet evening whilst we were lounging there.

This shot captures the bleak, monstrous and rural beauty of the
western coastlines of the Olympic peninsula. I got soaked
getting this, but them there beaches, Rialto and Ruby, were fantastic and wild places.

 This was the quite wonderful river bank we found ourselves on one morning,
 having blindly parked there the previous night. It was in Bend, Oregon,
and the climbing, and quaint little ledges and woodland there was just perfect.

Crater Lake. I followed Justin up a perilous little rock face
 to get to the peak of this overlook, and
what a place this is. Breathtaking day of snow shoeing.

 We had an unbelievable time in San Francisco! All of us there together,
and we of course all remember this brilliant moment.
 It just encapsulates our time in that incredible city.

 Yosemite might just be the zenith of landscape photography,
and despite the bleak weather we had there,
 it was a stunning place, and I quite like this black and white shot.

This is my favourite photograph I have taken. This was a classicly
spontaneous little moment, climbing that there mound. It was like a
sentry overlooking its wonderful, sleeping, golden and green landscape.

 I like this shot of Justin. It just captures the vastness of Death Valley.
 It was a brutal and vast place, but ruggedly beautiful at the same time.

This shot was taken near the Horseshoe in Page, Arizona. It was a
beautiful evening (as they generally are in Arizona), and I just loved this desert shrubbery.

Monument Valley is a magnificent place, despite the commercial build
 up there that taints many places these days. But it is a magnificent sight nevertheless.

 Shiprock, New Mexico. A mighty bastion rising from the
plains at sunset, towards the end of our epic trip.
