普哈-洛斯托国家公园的北极光。
公园位于芬兰北部拉普兰地区，这是一个既古老而又年轻的国家公园，之所以这样说，是因为在2005年成立普哈-洛斯托国家公园的时候，它是由芬兰最古老的国家公园——建立于1938年的普哈吞吐力（Pyhätunturi）国家公园和洛斯托国家公园合并而成的，因此，它又成为了芬兰最年轻的国家公园。这个全新合并的国家公园占地面积达142平方公里，其最主要的特点是这里的地质特色——古森林和湿地。
该国家公园的主体由芬兰最南端12座连绵起伏的山峰共同组成，其中最高的海拔540米，这些山峰呈独特的下跌状，是20亿年前这片第表上高山的残余，山上生长着许多高达200岁甚至更古老的松树，山间生活着拉普兰地区地区特有的各类野生动植物。这里是人们徒步旅行的好去处，壮丽而又充满活力的大自然就呈现在您的面前，您大可尽情享受拉普兰纯净的自然气息。

A Magical Evening. I have always dreamed of one day seeing the Northern Lights. On a recent trip to Iceland I drove to the iceberg lagoon and soon after dark they came out and what a show it was! The lights were out for only a brief time as soon the clouds rolled in but my dream became a reality! (© Craig Tissot/National Geographic Traveler Photo Contest) #

"Epiphany" One of my dreams was it to shoot the night sky when I went on holiday to New Zealand this February. Unfortunately the time was not perfect because of the moon, which was at the beginning nearly the whole night at the sky and also the weather made me change plans. At the end of my trip I had luck an get a clear sky after the sunset although the whole day was very cloudy. I decided to drive to the famous little church in Tekapo and took some shots of the night sky before the moon rose.

"Peek a Boo" Photographing wildlife in Florida is never the easiest task. One of the differences from photographing wildlife in other states has to be the abundance of biting bugs, ticks, deadly snakes and extreme heat and humidity. After bushwhacking my way through the brush, mud and water I was able to set up my gear, and still giving a good safe distance between myself and the nest. The nest appeared empty at first, but after a few minutes I started to see some movement. A pair of beautiful white miniature horns were the first to rise above the twigs before I seen this pair of beautiful Owlet eyes.

Polar Bear. I waited eight days in very cold and windy weather in order to capture this image of a mother polar bear peeking out of her den at sunset. It was reported that she emerged from her den on day 10 after I left the park, in Wapusk National Park, Manitoba.

A Land Before Time. Monument Valley, Sunrise. For four mornings in a row I was up well before dawn and drove from Mexican Hat, Utah (30 mi) to try and get the shot I was after. On day four the light was perfect, the clouds, the sense of space and how small we all are compared with these natural wonders.

Lightning after dark at the Grand Canyon. Capturing the Grand Canyon on this amazing night was a night I will never forget. I waited and waited long after dark telling my fiance and my student that we might get lucky. It paid off and when the first bolt struck, I yelled to the both of them to grab their tripods and I stayed and shot for over 2 hours. Was one of the best moments of my life as a photographer!
