Arizona Landscapes

guy.schmickle@gmail.com (Explore The Light Photography) — Thu, 13 Aug 2026 19:10:51 GMT

]]>Arizona is the last of the contiguous 48 states to achieve statehood and just recently celebrated its centennial on February 14, 2012. While it's known primarily for its hot, dry desert environment, Arizona is actually quite diverse both environmentally and geologically. In the southern portion of the state, the hot Sonoran and Chihuahuan Deserts are punctuated by sky islands...small mountain ranges with cooler, wetter climates than the surrounding desert. The northern half of the state is dominated by a higher desert geological area known as the Colorado Plateau. This area is known more for its rugged red rock environment (in places like the Grand Canyon, Monument Valley, Sedona, etc.). Once again the area is interspersed with larger mountain ranges and their associated alpine environments. The San Francisco Peaks and the White Mountains are the most notable of these ranges and tower to elevations over 12,000 ft. Those wanting a more civilized adventure can gravitate to the large metropolitan areas of Phoenix and Tucson. Phoenix is the state's capital and the ranks as the 14th largest city in the United States.

Rest of the West Landscapes

]]>The fine art photographs found within this gallery emanate from the remainder of the western states that I have not dedicated a gallery to. From the southwest deserts of New Mexico, Nevada and southern California to the rainforests of Washington and Oregon and finally over to the majestic Rocky Mountains of Montana and Wyoming. You'll find it all in this gallery. Enjoy the variety!

Taste Of Minnesota

guy.schmickle@gmail.com (Explore The Light Photography) — Thu, 04 Sep 2025 17:03:40 GMT

]]>Minnesota is often referred to as the land of 10,000 lakes (and 10 million mosquitos!). I've dedicated a specific gallery of imagery for this state because it's where I was born, raised and lived for a majority of my time on this planet. Minnesota is often defined by its cold winter weather. While that certainly may be true, not many people realize that the summer season is actually very hot and humid at times as well. You definitely experience a full dose of all four seasons there...it's just a bit heavy on the winter months! The topography of the state can be divided into the bluff lands of the southeast, the wide open, flat prairie lands of the west, the heavily forested northern sector and the hilly, glacially-gorged area of the northeast. It is that northeast portion of the state (often referred to as the North Shore as it's adjacent to mighty Lake Superior), that gets most of the attention from photographers. And justifiably so, the region is chalked full of lakes, rivers, waterfalls and is unique in that one can witness coastal like scenes and conditions despite being far, far away from any ocean. The Twin Cities of Minneapolis and St. Paul form the industrial and cultural hub of the state and a majority of the state's population reside there.
