Land of the Free: Intricate Library Designs & Architecture


One of the most intriguing historical libraries I've ever seen. Exquisite art and mosaic, colorful patterns are etched into all aspects of the Library of Congress, from column designs to chandeliers to ceilings and more. I particularly loved this view of the library interiors as it captures the splendid artistry and the magnificent statue all in one piece. The statue also illustrates the meaning of freedom for us all.

The Mountain in the Desert: Thriving Green Cacti Plants


Desert Botanical Garden Part II: With all the rain that Phoenix has been getting during the winter, this desert is actually very green for once, which is such a rare sight. I loved this mountain filled with cacti plants...everywhere. This is definitely my favorite part of this garden; I can stare at this view for hours and hours and walk along this path for a while.

Stairway to Heaven: Blue-Green Gradient Imagery


Believe it or not, this is actually an art piece from a museum.

I saw this and immediately had to capture it before closing time. I loved that these stacked pieces of glass resemble a stair case and have blue-green gradient hues.

After looking at it for a while, I knew I had to do something with this photo and change up the background. Since it resembles stairs...why not make it a stairway...to heaven? That's where the picture perfect saturated blue sky and clouds photo come into play, adding that finishing touch.

Icy Blue Water Colors and Reflections Imagery


Such striking cloud reflections over a lake near sunset. I love the original colors of this a lot but also thought, what if I changed the hue and saturation of this and gave it a nice, icy blue vibe? The inspiration for this includes a mix of Alaska and Iceland's cool water tones during the cold, winter months.
