dawn
As the day begins, a somberness permeates my senses, coloring the mind in a cloud of dust. One cannot describe in words a pain like emptiness or loneliness, they can only express it in pictures chosen to describe it. What makes a person sad? Somber? What makes them happy? Joyful? A world without pain and…
switzerland
In a land where the rivers are the hue of a cloudy yet brilliant blue and the sky is the hue of a blue yet brilliantly cloudy, Switzerland stands out in this beautiful world. I discovered myself on my journey through Switzerland, from Geneva to Zurich, stopping in Lutry, Bern, Interlaken, Lauterbrunnen, Grindelwald, and Lucerne.…
snow
Snow is one of the most expertly “designed” phenomena I have ever witnessed; I’ve seen many expertly designed snowflakes in my life. To convey my love for both the process of the snowflake and the process of “shredding it” I’ve made the post and link to a gorgeous gallery of these incredible structures. And a…

Hiking through Zion’s breathtaking trails, eyes lit with wonder and awe, I capture some points of popular interest. The sky is a vibrant blue, the sun highlights the massive valley wall, and the water reflects this immense beauty, this expanse of sky and mountain.

Peering over a bridge in Seoul’s busy southside district, I catch the fiery ball of light in between a pair of uneven skyscrapers. My mind settles for a few seconds on the display of warmth and radiance, the water reflecting the glow of the sun and the shadows of the buildings, one formed over billions…

After long hours running about and gazing in wonder, a close comes to the intimate island of Oahu. The warm glow of our sun’s departure fills the sky as she slowly sets below an endless sea. A spectacle that attracts people from around the world to witness. Tourists and locals alike bathe in the warm…
water
This is not my photo, but I just felt at such ease staring at it for the past ten minutes that I just had to post it. What this mesmerizing photo taught me was that water has the incredible ability to calm our minds and hearts. Water provides a space of fluidity. In and around…
inversion
As I hike up and up and up along Mt Olympus trail in Salt Lake’s Mountainous Backyard, pushing higher and higher above the inversion, I turn around… What I stand and soak in is appalling and mesmerizing, a flat lake of pollution and cold, trapped air floating above the city. I can hear the traffic…
