The Magical Tree: The Secrets of Enlightenment

Future's Past art sculpture image Part II: This gorgeous art display created by Kate Raudenbush at Patricia Green Park is filled with intricacies inside and out, starting with a defining auburn-colored bodhi tree at the top. Special twist? This exceptional pyramid also glows at night (with a glow-in-the-dark green color) and can be seen far into the distance.

Festive Chinese Lanterns Sweep the Sky

Crimson red lanterns deck the sky and the city for the upcoming Lunar New Year and the forthcoming Lantern Festival. I decided to get a close-up shot of the bright lanterns and fade the background to give a nice blurred look and feel to the overall imagery. Adding hints of pastel hues with white undertones perfect the contrast between the sharp, clear lanterns and the hazed sky. Take a closer look and you can also see the puzzle pieces effect.

Illuminating Skyscraper Lights at Twilight

Pier 7 at Night Part II: The perfect light during twilight. Waited it out after the sunset to capture this radiant scene of the city skyline. Spectacular lights adorn the edges of the Embarcadero Center skyscrapers as the lights shimmer across the waters.

Majestic Sunsets and Golden Dreams

These impressive cirrocumulus clouds captured during the sunset make the perfect backdrop to the skyscrapers in the area. I added an extra orange filter to elevate the scene.
