When Sakura Blooms: Pink Cherry Blossom Trees

The 3D pyramid art piece that is even more exceptional when you look at it from certain angles - especially when you have the sun and shade in your favor! Definitely one of my favorite creations at the National Gallery of Art. 

Winter Daylight: Soft Pastel Blue Trees Imagery

Magical winter scene with bare trees and no leaves.

I loved this view while on the road and decided to give it some extra special effects by blurring it out for a soft, mystical feel.Then I altered the background with light blue hues and mixes of pastel colors surrounding the trees for an added pop of delight, creating vibes that feel like it's straight out of a holiday card.

The Reflecting Pool: Pastel Colors at Washington Monument

After walking a long, long way to the other side of the Lincoln Memorial reflecting pool, we took time to sit...and reflect on our lives.

As the sun slowly started to descend and the colors of the sky darkened, with hints of orange-pink hues, the reflections of the clouds became even more prominent and was even sharper and bolder on the reflecting pool. Such a magnificent place, worth every minute of the walk.

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.

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.
