We would like to congratulate the 2nd place winner of the Nature competition, Rob Travis. Below are the images he submitted. To view them in detail, click an image below. Also, take a moment to learn a little bit about Rob by reading his statement below.



Rob Travis is a professional photographer based in Transylvania County, North Carolina. His beautiful nature and landscape images have won awards in local, regional and national photography contests, and his work has appeared in many local and national publications. Since 2001, Rob has worked as a glass artist in his family’s business, "The Glass Feather Studio Gallery" in Cedar Mountain (est.1980). He also offers photography classes for all levels of skill and all age groups.

The images I photograph in nature convey many things to many people – vibrant color, emotions and the enormity and wonder of the world around us. To me, as the creator of these pictures, they represent all these things plus something much more personal. I am somehow connected to the scene and carry this feeling with me as I take each new photograph. I have found this awareness of self in the world around me plays a special part in the creation of the next successful image.

I explore nature’s beauty constantly – up a mountain, down to a waterfall and out to my own backyard. I photograph the majestic and the minute, all focused on capturing the spirit within. At the end of the day, I want my photography to take my viewers out there with me, on their own journey, through my art.
