An exquisite staircase that caught my attention and held it while visiting one of the National Libraries of France.
I loved the design and architectural structure of this and played with various effects, including cloning, duplicating, and manipulating other elements to add human imagery and a deeper, moodier tone.
The awe-inspiring facade of the world-famous Colosseum landmark.
As the largest ancient amphitheatre ever built and the largest standing amphitheatre in the world, this structure stuns from day to night in the middle of Rome.

The famed Momo staircase is photographed by everyone from all around the world.
Instead of photographing the full spiral staircase from the top, why not try it from the side showcasing more of the designs on the edges?
The Oval Room at this National Library of France is jaw-droppingly stunning.
Its strikingly modern yet traditional aesthetic is filled with an oval-shaped glass dome. Smaller symmetrical circle-glass designs adorn the ceiling, columns of books are beautifully displayed on the shelves, and artful columns elevate the vicinity, creating one of the most captivating libraries in the world.
Intense cloud cover and occasional downpours took over Florence for most of the day. While the visibility wasn't as strong and the lighting wasn't as bright, the deep tones and colors of the Duomo stood out with its vibrancy as the darkened skies and moody vibes came alive.
Spiral into infinity.
This staircase technically leads to an end after a few floors but the design is extraordinary from all angles--creating a look as if it can live on forever.

Soaring high above the city of Osaka is the Umeda Sky building, offering 360 degree views from its observatory. The blue lit-up stairs add extra flair, drama, and glamour to the scene.
Himeji Castle Part II: The clouds roll in, offering major contrast between the sharp blue skies and puffy white coverage.
With the castle as the main character, this created quite the epic photo.
The enthralling details and glass designs at Harpa Concert Hall continue to inspire.
What if we convert the glass window panels into glass floor?
I manipulated this image by cloning and rearranging the glass panels to create transparent, angular floorings and an all over glass effect.
Stunning interior design and architecture can be found at the Harpa Concert Hall. The glass window panels give a modern, abstract, and futuristic twist to the scene.
I decided to manipulate the image by flipping it around and altering the position. All of the cool angles turn this into silver, shiny glass stairs (so why not just walk on it?)

"A hotel inspired by nature."
This astounding, modern building stands out from the distance. From one point of view, it looks like a 3D paper cut-out coming to life.
Using locally-sourced and recycled building materials, this sustainable hotel is making a serious difference on the planet and altering how we design for the future.
Astonishing interior design inside at the Harpa Concert Hall in Reykjavik.
Shielding ourselves from the wind storm outside, we stand inside marveling at the one-of-a-kind art inspired by Iceland's geography, surrounded by layers of glass and basalt column outlines.
Fun background designs, faded effects, and soft yet bright, pastel colors continue to awaken our senses.
I was inspired by the creative, painterly digital art from a manga and had to create my own rendition of it, infusing my favorite colors and blending in different textures.
Lush green space can be found everywhere across Singapore, adorning skyscrapers and sky terraces (both indoors, outdoors) in a scenic, artsy way.
Mission Dolores Basilica Church Part II: The golden hour (and the hour leading up to it) presents some of the best photographic moments. Buildings just look and hit differently depending on the lighting, the weather, and time of day. I love how this pic of the church looks like it's taken closer to blue hour and offers such a calming, chill presence. You can see the intricate details of the structure even more vividly during this moment.
Skydance Bridge Part II: Shining bright on a Tuesday twilight night.
This stunning scissor-like sculpture illuminates the walkway on the pedestrian bridge, high above the freeway and away from the sparkling skyscrapers in downtown.
Skydance Bridge Part I: Just keep on dancing and glowing.
This one-of-a-kind art sculpture sits on top of a pedestrian bridge and can be seen on the freeway right below! An abstract creation that resembles a pair of scissors with a cool, cutting-edge look, adding to Oklahoma City's spectacular art scene.
The vibrant orange color on this sculpture also gives striking resemblances to Tokyo Tower's orange-colored lights at night.
