Southern Utah — a land of endless horizons, rugged badlands and landscapes shaped by time. I explored this incredible corner of the American Southwest during my long journey this spring. Every day brought a new view, a new road, a new reason to stop and take it all in. #Utah #Photography

It’s still hard to find words for what I’ve seen last Wednesday in Spain 🇪🇸. The eclipse was probably the most fascinating, beautiful and surreal experience in my photography journey. #eclipse #eclipse2026

Watching the last light of the day transform the granite formations into glowing shades of gold while this cactus stood resilient in the foreground was a moment I’ll never forget. #AlabamaHills #California

There’s something special about watching the desert wake up. As the first light of day touched the iconic granite boulders of the Alabama Hills, the landscape transformed into a palette of soft pinks, warm golds, and deep blues. #california #easternsierra

Watching the last light dance across the granite boulders of the Alabama Hills, with the majestic Sierra Nevada rising in the background, feels like stepping into another world. #AlabamaHills

Some places don’t reveal themselves easily. The Eureka Dunes, hidden deep within Death Valley, are among the most remote sand dunes in California. After hours of driving across endless desert, this surreal landscape finally emerged. #deathvalley

The road is calling… and I’m ready to answer. Endless horizons, wild skies, and the promise of something new ahead. The next adventure begins where the pavement meets the unknown. Let’s go where the journey takes us. See you soon put there!

Hidden in the heart of the Great Plains, Nebraska reveals scenes just as surreal and beautiful. These rugged formations, carved by time, wind, and water, prove that you don’t have to travel to the famous desert parks to experience dramatic landscapes. #Nebraska #GreatPlains

Out here in Southern Utah, time slows down and the desert tells its own story — carved cliffs glowing in the last light, ancient rock spires standing tall against a painted sky, and a quiet so deep you can hear your own heartbeat. #Utah

Where time, wind, and silence have sculpted the land into surreal masterpieces. These hoodoos rise from the desert floor like ancient guardians, glowing in soft shades of ivory, blush, and gold as the sun sets over the high desert. #newmexico #desert

The canyonlands of Utah never stop to amaze me. Those views feel unreal even in person. What a beautiful state it is! #utah #moab

Dawn in #Utah hits different.

Found these rocks while roaming on planet Mars. #utah

Getting lost in the canyons of Utah. #utah #canyon

The Fortress The mighty Mesas of Utah unfold their beauty at at sunset. #Utah #photography

Views from planet Utah ☀️🔥 #Utah #Photography

Just some scenes while exploring Utah last month. Can’t wait to go back for more. I’ll never get tired of the rocks, dust, mountains and the peace of the desert. #utah #explore

While exploring some backcountry roads in southern Utah we came across theses rock formations and decided to stay for a little bit. Had fun with my drone and this is what a saw that evening. #Utah

Exploring #Utah is like visiting another planet. Every few miles the landscape shows a completely different face. There is so much to see it is difficult to choose a composition. It’s just overwhelmingly beautiful!

Made a trip to planet Mars back in late September. Loved exploring these unreal land in Utah. Endless opportunities and no soul around. #Utah

This view left us in awe. The details in the badlands were absolutely beautiful. As I’m writing this I realized that I don’t know what to say. The feeling while standing there comes back to memory. I need to go back… #utah

This landscape is out of this world. I felt like I was walking on another planet. Thanks Utah for giving me goosebumps and leaving me speechless every time. I’ll be back soon! #utah

Utah’s badlands at dawn. Early morning I got out of my tent grabbed my 70-200mm lens and started shooting the surreal landscapes. In between a made me a coffee and enjoyed this morning so much. I’ll never get tired of these desert. #utah #badlands

Utah‘s landscapes will ever left me speechless! #utah

To be honest I don’t remember exactly where I got this bolt. I think it was somewhere in southwest Kansas. Anyways. I founder on my hard drive and thought I like it. #stormchasing

Afternoon full of doubts turned into a great chase day. Initially a first storm of day started and looked promising, but didn’t make it. A second storm was brewing to the southwest but was struggling for almost an hour to get things done. In the end it was the right choice to stay patient. #weather

My cloud for #CloudAppreciationDay

Utah bound soon!!!

Just moments before the Morton Wedge touched the ground wild scenes took place. The new rotation is already sucking dirt like crazy. #stormchasing #texas

This storm came out of nowhere. After leaving a weakening storm we saw a towering cloud to the south and decided to give it a chance. It went from nothing to supercell mode in just 20 minutes. A chase to remember. #stormchasing #colorado

Eastern New Mexico, where random scattered showers are beautiful! #stormchasing #lightning

The first storm of the day didn’t look very promising. Fortunately there was another one forming along the dryline so we gave it a go. Soon after things got interesting with some structure and nice bolts. #storm #stormchasing

Still in awe about this storm. One of the best scenes I’ve ever seen in over 25 years of storm chasing. Already linking forward to 2026 🤘 #stormchasing #newmexico

The arrival of the glorious Nara Visa supercell was already very pretty. Glad this storm moved along a road to follow it! #storm #stormchasing

Powerful #lightning strikes hit the area around Stoneham, Colorado as a supercell is gaining strength.

Things got serious when this Tornado dropped right in front of us. At this point we are looking straight to the north. Fortunately the dust wasn’t too bad at this time to get a clear view. After that dust would be a big challenge for the rest of the day. #tornado #texas

Got this dusty noodle near Akron, Colorado on May 23rd. First it was just a wall of dust but later in its lifecycle it showed us its beauty. 🌪️ #tornado #colorado

On our last chase day we intercepted a slow moving storm southwest of Felt, OK. The storm suddenly gained strength and produced this beautiful tornado near Texline,TX. It lasted almost 30 minutes. Best finale of a storm season ever. #tornado #texas

On my last chase day of the season Mother Nature showed once again her beauty near Felt, Oklahoma. #tornado #oklahoma

Still speechless… one of the most photogenic storms I’ve ever seen. Everything came together that day in a perfect line. What an amazing experience it was to see it with my own eyes! June 7th 2025. #supercell #newmexico

Every stormseason I came across this abandoned farm house. For decades storms passed by and its standing there solid as a rock. I‘m curious what these old walls could tell… #oklahoma #storm

I‘m back from the US and I it was a season to remember. Got many photogenic storms like this one on June 8th near Felt,OK. #tornado #storm #supercell #oklahoma

#Supercell is gaining strength and shape in southwest Oklahoma. Shot back from late May 2018.

Classic dryline storm in southwest #Oklahoma back in late May 2018. What a fun chase it was, except for the mosquitos.

Surfing a whales mouth in northern #Oklahoma. Found this shot on my archive. Taken near Enid, Oklahoma in May 2009.

Montana didn’t like our presence so it tried to spook us with powerful bolts. Has a fun ride along this #storm for some hours before it died.
