Welcome to Veiled Reflections, a breath of fresh bits. My intention for this site is that others might get a glimpse of the Creator through the beauty of the natural world around us. Too often we move through our surroundings without stopping to notice all the wonders, big and small, that surround us.
Please check back often as I will continue to add photos and sets, hopefully on a regular basis. New ones will be added but some might be from earlier experiences as I remember them or as I wade through all my photos from the last several years.
If you enjoy this site please let me know. I will not charge any kind of member fee but please keep in mind that I do have expenses to cover so if you would like to help please feel free. I am not listed as a non-profit organization so donations will not be tax deductible. I will, at some point, start adding products that can be purchased featuring my photos such as calendars, scripture / encouragement cards, etc, so keep a look out for that.
The section called 'Sets - Events - Adventures' is for sequences of photos and things that I have experienced that I believe will be beneficial, interesting, or sometimes entertaining to others. Click on the photo, title, time frame, or location to open up a given series. Rolling the mouse over an image will expand it out to a larger size for easier viewing. The close link is at the top right of the reading pane.
For those who might be interested I have added some info about each photo such as date and time, and some of the camera settings.
If you would like to be added to the update notification list please let me know. After updating photos and / or events I will send out an email notification to those who are on the list.
Thank you for visiting Veiled Reflections. If you like this site please let others know. Enjoy!

MISSION: To pull back the veil, to reveal the beauty, to proclaim the Creator. To encourage those that are down, to strengthen those that are weak, to bring light to those who are in darkness, to share life with those who are empty, to bring hope to those that feel hopeless.
Welcome to Veiled Reflections - a breath of fresh bits on the internet. My name is Gene and I am a beginner photographer. Duplicating in photo the beauty of the natural world is my passion.
Veiled Reflections is not so much about me and my photography. It's about the Creator of all this beauty. It's about pulling back the veil. It's about revealing the beauty and the glory. It's about joy and sadness. It's about strength and weakness. It's about failure and triumph.
I struggle with depression, with hopelessness, with feelings of worthlessness. I know what it's like to feel like there is no purpose to life. I have been afflicted with anxiety, panic attacks, and terror in the middle of the night. I have struggled with addiction to prescription drugs, vertigo, sleep deprivation, fatigue. I know what it's like to be at the bottom with little to no hope of anything. I know what it's like to be at the end of the rope of life and wish that it would just all end. I struggle. I know.
Come. Find encouragement through my dark moments. Find strength from my struggles. See into the realm of the invisible by beholding the visible.
Tranquility Clicking on a link will redirect you to YouTube where you can view the video. Due to the locations of some recordings some of the background noise is unavoidable. You may hear traffic in the background and other people talking as they come and go. Unfortunately I'm using the built in mic on the camera so it picks up the wind very easily which can create some rather annoying sounds. I will be trying to add some audio equipment to help eliminate, or at least minimize, this issue. Videos are typically about 5 minutes in length although some may vary according to content and various other circumstances.
Pull back the veil, reveal the beauty.
Admire your amazing world.
Search it's hidden corners.
Explore it's mystical kingdoms.
A treasure awaits your discovery.
Unseen jewels await your notice.
Beyond the veil that blinds our eyes,
Beyond the veil that dulls our senses,
Lies a priceless gem of beauty and charm,
A realm of enchantment and wonder,
An empire of majestic elegance and grace.
In this place time is unhurried.
In this place is found -
The emblems of the Creator.
Open the chambers of your heart.
Flood your being with it's beauty.
Saturate your soul with it's charm.
