Was admiring the sun about to set down the grand view of park avenue when my solace was invaded with sharp buzzing sounds. I looked around but could not figure out what was making that sound. I did see a big moth like creature feeding on a nearby wild flower and decided to take this video. With my camera focus fixed on the big bug my eyes found something incredible entering the frame and that’s when I knew where that buzz was from. However I captured this in slow mo so the original buzz was deformed which I replaced with this beautiful song. Hope you all like it. #archesnationalpark #nationalparkgeek #utah #utahhiking #wildlife #birds #birdsofinstagram #slowmotion #hummingbird #wildwest #wings #parkavenuearches #iphonevideo #shotoniphone #wildflowers #bird #nature #naturephotography #animals #photography #birdwatching #birding #best #love #instagram #naturelovers #birdlife #babybirds (at Arches National Park) https://www.instagram.com/p/BxaIdmnh8bW/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=ma0mro5utca6

Everything great takes it’s time. With my head rested on the red rock, I did see a million stars through the arches above but I knew it would take time to view something incredible that’s lurking in the stars and the blackness around. To armor my pupils with super sight all they needed a few mins of complete darkness. Minutes later my eyes opened to a whole new universe. What’s the view through your window? #natgeo #yourshotphotographer #natgeotravel #nationalparkgeek #nationalpark #archesnationalpark #utah #usa #nightsky #nightskyphotography #stargazing #milkyway #milkywaychasers #longexposure #photopills #darksky #darkskyshots #doublearches #sonya7riii #sonyalpha #samyang #darkskytravels #moab #starrynight #nightview #nightphotography (at Arches National Park) https://www.instagram.com/p/BxIXo6MlbBJ/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=bhtj63yt06x8

The best thing when driving in Colorado is that you are never far from Wildlife. A big sign on the interstate said “scenic overlook” and I thought, well let’s take a brake and this is what I turned my car into. A long stretch of white and a bison already posing to my instructions. Say Mooo. #colorado #scenicoverlook #natgeo #natgeowild #yourshotphotographer #unitedstates #coloradocreative #bison #wildlife #wildlifephotography #winter #coloradolife #coloradosprings #sonya7riii #sonyalpha #sony70200gm #snow #ourplanetdaily #fantastic_earth #theglobewanderer #discoverearth #discoverglobe #passionpassport #awesome_earthpix #stayandwander #worldplaces #theworldshotz #placestosee #adventuretime #exploremore (at Colorado) https://www.instagram.com/p/BxA5Wo0ldah/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1c4li6e8t41kd

In that pitch darkness my eyes adjusted to see the stars floating in the black ocean above us but I was still blind to the formations in front of me. Using a small head lamp and the distant starlight I adjusted my focus and clicked the shutter. 30 secs later my view for the park changed completely.

It was our home even before we could build one for ourselves. The soft grass was our bed, the vast forests our working grounds and our ceiling was engraved with stars. The seasons brought us groceries while the lakes and rivers washed us and kept us waterlogged. There was only one mother before her children drew lines on her and divided themselves into clans, color, class and religion. She has been feeding us from her breast and we have not even stopped to thank her. So on this Mother’s Day for Mother Earth, let’s pledge not to take her love for granted, for her love is immense but her wrath will be fierce. #happyearthday🌎 My eyes gently opened as the cool breeze gathered warmth from the rising sun. The glow ran upwards my body and felt like warm shower running down my skin on a cold day. I pushed my head out the window scavenging the passenger seat for my camera. The Bison were now crossing the plain, herds of them. The adult leading the way, the mothers looking out for their calves and the children frolicking, occasionally turning to stare at the cars with long lenses peeping out the windows. We exclaimed - beauty! , they sighed - humans . #instagram #rockymountainarsenalwildliferefuge #yourshotphotographer #nationalgeographic #natgeotravel #natgeo #natgeowild #natgeotraveller #rockymountainnationalpark #colorado #justgoshoot #nationalparkgeek #wildlifephotography #wildlife #bisoncrossing #bison #sonyalpha #colorado_creative #sunrise #exploretocreate #discovertheworld #wanderlust #live_love_wildlife #ourplanet #discoverwildlife #wildplanet #livefolk #landscape_captures (at Rocky Mountain Arsenal National Wildlife Refuge) https://www.instagram.com/p/BwkHdPfF95f/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1yfdq9470ayj

We all stood there patiently waiting for the sun to revel itself from the clouds, palms freezing to death but still fighting with the camera settings and taking test shots.It was past sunrise and none of the photographers yet had the money shot( money shot in upcoming post) so while we waited, I tried getting the scene from different angles and this one turned out to be .... I will let you be the judge of that. #canyonlandsnationalpark #utah #nationalgeographic #yourshotphotographer #nationalparkgeek #perpetualdrift #nationalparkobsessed #canyon #sunrise #sunrise_shotz #picoftheday #nature #landscapephotography #sonyalpha #hdr #moab #wanderlust #travel #travelphotography #amazing_shots #bestoftheday #findyourpark #backpacking #arch #mesaarch #mesaarchsunrise #utahgram #goodmorning #indianphotographers #wildwest (at Canyonlands National Park) https://www.instagram.com/p/BwcXfdalFDI/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1r00cby1xnpik

“If you are lonely when alone, you are in bad company” - Not me Was driving solo through the snow covered terrain of the Rocky Mountain arsenal national wildlife refuge, admiring the white winter, when one common creature caught my eye. The goose sitting calm in a big patch of snow with a picturesque backdrop, admiring the frivolity of hundreds of it’s own just a few meters ahead. Sometimes we need to be a little far just to get the whole picture or just for the heck of it. #yourshotphotographer #nationalgeographic #rockymountainarsenal #rockymountainarsenalwildliferefuge #colorado #winter #nationalparkgeek #snow #wildlife #denver #perpetualdrift #natgeotravel (at Rocky Mountain Arsenal National Wildlife Refuge) https://www.instagram.com/p/BwXK8FZFubx/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=13ntlnzh783r6

After hours of driving I finally reached Canyonlands,Moab, around 1 am, checked my weather app and saw the sunrise there was at 7:14 am. 6 more hours to go, so I put my car in park, adjusted the seat until it was almost flat, with my legs around the wheel and my head engulfed in starlight beaming through the wide moon roof, I slumbered into sleep. At seven my obnoxious and effective alarm blared through the car speakers and my eyes opened wide in an instant. Am I late? I raced to the Mesa arch trail head. The morning light had weaved with the darkness of the night and everything was just beginning to get visible. I grabbed my camera, pushed a bottle of water in my cargo, wrapped around a muffler and started walking to the arch biting on a granola bar. Halfway through the trail, I could already see the vast landscape and the small arch slowly coming to light. Photographers were already in place with their wide angle lenses and tripods set to capture the beams of the rising sun. This picture here was taken on my way back to the car, when the sun was up and everything that was monochrome to the naked eye ,a few minutes back was now basking in the sun’s glory. #nationalparkgeek #yourshotphotographer #nationalgeographic #roamtheplanet #landscapescaptures #awesome_photographers #weekly_feature #earthtemper #traveldudes #iamtb #travelrepost #bestvacations #travelandlife #worldplaces #travellershouts #backpackerstory #lonelyplanet #wonderfulplaces #modernoutdoors #campfire_daily #theglobewanderer #worldnomads #perpetualdrift #wanderlust #canyonlandsnationalpark #utah #moab #mesaarch #wildwest #solotravel (at Canyonlands National Park) https://www.instagram.com/p/BwFN7SeFA9g/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1vkb9bfdb9ev9

I see u. Winding through the curvy roads of Rocky Mountains we started hearing a unique whine. We abruptly parked our car by the side and curiously followed the sound ( later realized they were mating calls) and this is what we came to. Even the thin dead branches of the fallen trees served more than massive pillars to apparently keep us hidden and my lens focused. #sonya7riii #ourplanetdaily #elk #fantastic_earth #theglobewanderer #discoverearth #discoverglobe #passionpassport #awesome_earthpix #stayandwander #worldplaces #bestvacations #theworldshotz #placestosee #yourshotphotographer #adventuretime #exploremore #bucketlisttravel #exploreusa #natgeoyourshot #travelphotography #perpetualdrift #seetheworld #justgoshoot #theculturetrip #rockymountainnationalpark #nationalpark #nationalparkobsessed #nationalparkgeek #wanderlost (at Rocky Mountain National Park) https://www.instagram.com/p/BvUYHwPlTSB/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1wqcoo9qfy4o4

Why is Denver called the mile high city? Well it’s not coz you can get high legally ..... it’s in its geography.. it’s elevated 1 mile above sea level and this 13th step at the capitol building is the precise measure of that. So now I am in the mile high club... ohhh wait, no that’s something else too. #natgeo #yourshotphotographer #natgeotraveler #travelexposures #travelfeature #travel_featured #cityofdenver #dnvrcolorado #themilehighcity #denver #visitdenver #colorado #1000thingstodoindenver #303magazine #viewcolorado #coloradotography #colorado_travel #viewsfromcolorado #sonyalpha #samyang14mm #travelblogger #travelholic #travelguide #wanderluster #cityvibes #exploremore #denvercapitol #1mileabovesealevel #travelbook (at Denver, Colorado) https://www.instagram.com/p/BumC-hsli5u/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=17sx5axmqmru3

Witnessing a giant in the making. The biggest in the world,at a height of 210 metres, 250 metres spanning in diameter this structure takes vertigo to a new height. I can only wonder how fascinating it would be to take this yacht tour again once this structure is completed and in its prime. #dubai #dubailife #dubaifashion #dubai🇦🇪 #dubailuxury #dubaiinstagram #dubaibeach #dubaitours #dubaiyatch #itravelbecause #dubaieye #travelphotography #travelblogger #traveller #travelgram #wanderlust #worldtravelscapes #citylife #cityscapes #letyouwander #backpacker #borntotravel #seetheworld #wonderfulplaces #exploremore #neverstopexploring #passportready #neverstopexploring (at Dubai, United Arab Emirates) https://www.instagram.com/p/BujPng-lprs/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=372zkb3fmdc5
