These photographs were taken during my seventeen trips throughout different areas of the United States. Altogether I have spent more than a year taking photos of natural beauty in America. I consider that time as a wonderful period for my work because the United States is endowed with so many diverse and amazing forms of nature – the majestic glaciers in Alaska, the rainforests in the state of Washington, the geysers and springs in Yellowstone, beautiful rock formations in Arizona, white sand deserts in New Mexico, and palm beaches in Hawaii. These are only a small portion of the natural wonders of the United States, which was the first country in the world to protect its natural heritage by creating national parks.
