3D Geometric Art: Hyperspace Reflections

When I learned that the Oakland Museum of California was going to have a special exhibit dedicated to The Art of Burning Man, I knew I had to go.

This was one of my favorite pieces at the exhibit. This looks so surreal and complicated but when you look closely, you realize how simple it is actually. Light can change everything around you, creating some mesmerizing perspectives.

Coit Tower's Cityscape Views of San Francisco Bay

This makes you do a double take. Just one look at this and it feels like you're looking at Lisbon (or San Francisco). From far away or just from a quick glance, the Golden Gate Bridge looks remarkably similar to the 25 de Abril Bridge in Lisbon and vice versa.

This particular view from Coit Tower of the city and the bridge can definitely be found in Lisbon for the most part (just tweak those peach-colored buildings and add in colorful red-tiled buildings).

The Tokyo Street Scene at Twilight

When you're inside a tall building and you peer outside, you mostly just look straight across at the stunning skyscraper views, etc...but sometimes staring right down below is even more enticing and thrilling (depending on if you're scared of heights or not). 

It was amazing looking outside the window at the freeway traffic, cars, and the daily lives of the people in the downtown area at twilight. The twinkle of lights and the darkening of skies makes for pretty awesome people-watching from above. 

Bright Pink Sunshine: Hibiscus Flower in the Garden

This hibiscus flower radiates so much light everywhere with its fuchsia pink and pastel yellow-orange hues. Had to do a close-up of this one!

Red Gates + Scenic Hikes at Fushimi Inari Shrine

One of the longest walks uphill and across many stairs to get through the famous Fushimi Inari-Taisha in Kyoto. There are plenty of bright orange-red torii gates throughout the stroll, adding vibrant color and contrast to the serene trees nearby.

After walking in and out of different gates and exploring alternating viewpoints on the mountains, you not only get a break from the chaotic crowds but also get to feel the calming spirit of Kyoto.
