Vermilion Cliffs, Arizona
It was a major hike into “the wave”, and I set off early, right on daybreak. This is a highly protected, extremely fragile wilderness area. There are no signs, no tracks, nothing! A special permit is needed and only 10 people a day are permitted to enter this park. As I hiked up a dry riverbed and followed it to the delicate sandstone valley, I could see why. Standing on top of the wave was an incredible feeling I’ll never forget - surrounded by these sensual flowing sandstone walls. I waited for the right light and took the shot. I felt privileged to be allowed to capture Mother Nature’s soul and share it. It was a magic day.

Aurora ★★★★★

I expected another pretty coffee-table book, but the writing about hiking into the Wave at daybreak actually taught me something. Knowing there are no signs or tracks out there made me rethink how I'd plan that trek.

The photos of the Wave at daybreak are stunning, and I love that it captures how fragile that wilderness really is. Reading the note about setting off early with no signs or tracks made me feel like I was right there on the hike.
