Nature photography is my passion. Exploring the beauty of God's creation and capturing it is challenging and enjoyable. I have been photographing nature since I was twelve and since going digital it has brought a new fire for capturing natures beauty. I am a happily married father with two beautiful girls and live in Fort Smith, AR. I have help run my families clothing store "Rainwater's Clothing" for many years. I also own and manage rental property in Fort Smith.

This is a very nice shot. I can almost feel the suns’ rays the warmth of the sun on my skin. Gaia is an endless supply of life and this is one of them. Very good moment Gale.

Beautiful shot; I love the orange glow under the arch. I have a shot of this arch as a cover for a sci-fi book of mine.

Love it! I spent 3 days in Arches np last May, but didn’t have the time to go to Mesa Arch. Your picture shows me I really should have taken the time to visit Mesa.

This is one of the best photos of this Mesa I have seen, even some of the best photographers haven`t done this good. Landscape photography is very rewarding especially when you come away with something this good.

A firery glow indeed.

Hey what is baking inside that oven? Pizza?
Col Kirby
Spectacular in composition, exposure and timing. Truly great shots like this only exist for a few seconds and to capture the beauty of creation such as this would give one immense satisfaction. well done Gale.

Very nice shot! An HDR image? Would like to see it with more black depth in the rocks, but hey it’s still a wonderful image!

Great landscape. I like the sky glow up and down the arm of stone. And I like your name, as well: Agua de lluvia. I write from Aragon, Spain, a region suffering a very hard drought, so your rainwater would be very welcomed.

Gale, This is one of my favorites of your photos. I can’t imagine how you can get that look on film. I’m so happy your photographs are getting the recognition that you deserve them to get. Such beautiful art work.
