The Logan River, coursing its way through the Bear Mountains in northern Utah is flanked by brilliance charged with announcing a dramatic change of season.

Relinquish the Crown

Greg-Lawson-Photography-Saguaro-Birds

A cactus wren returns to its perch high atop a saguaro in the Sonoran desert to find a dove has chosen to occupy its briefly abandoned place. An attempt to motivate the dove to relinquish the saguaro crown and give up the space next to a sitting wren seems to fall on unresponsive feathers.

Bonsoir!

Greg-Lawson-Galleries-Bonsoir-Paris

As the sun diminishes Tour d’Eiffel comes alive with light to bid a good evening to all in the city of Paris. The icon was originally constructed as an attraction and entrance to the World’s Fair held in 1889. It was named after Gustave Eiffel, the man in charge of the company that engineered and constructed it. From different viewing levels visitors can view the expansive Parisian landscape as if it were an architect’s model. At 324 meters (1,063 feet) in height it still ranks as the tallest structure in Paris. It is so recognizable that throughout the world people can call out its name simply by being shown a likeness of it. Paris is a favorite city of mine and nearly every time I visit I find myself in the gravitational pull of this alluring filament in the City of Lights.

Craters of the Moon

"Craters of the Moon" New Zealand at Greg Lawson's Passion for Place Gallery in Sedona, Arizona
Craters of the Moon is a steamfield in New Zealand and part of the greater Taupo Volcanic Zone of the North Island. Heat from the vents keeps much vegetation at bay but the verdance of enduring varieties mixed with venting steam makes for an unusual and inviting experience.
