The view of the ferry as we get closer to downtown Toronto.
The CN Tower stands tall and bright along with the other skyscrapers. I wanted to give this a dreamy effect, utilizing colors from the skies from anime and adding in sparkles throughout the imagery.
When you're 114 floors high above overlooking the city, everything looks small in comparison.
As sunset morphs into twilight and then into darkness, the skyscrapers light up and have a translucent quality to them, creating a futuristic, somewhat dystopian society.
I added in other effects, using colors from this shot and dropping in a distorted wave filter to enhance this even more.

Niagara Falls State Park Part II: Just like a wallpaper.
All five senses are awakened in this environment. Sounds and sights are elevated and take complete control of the scene.
Niagara Falls State Park Part I: Water, water, water everywhere.
Different weather patterns can be seen on opposite corners. On one side, you can feel the sun...on the other side, you're braving through the mist.

Strolled through the streets of Toronto and stumbled upon this astonishing plaza--it is filled with steel and glass, and super tall ceilings revealing the atrium. This design is said to be reminiscent of a country road lined with maple trees.
The amount of light and orientation of the sun in the sky changes the mood of this place, creating one-of-a-kind photos and new memories each and every visit.
Vivacious flowers take up space at Queen's Park. Blooming, effervescent tulips can be found all over Toronto in all shades of colors.
These red ones pop right away and deserve to be the main character.
Postcard-perfect skies appear, ready for me to capture (and savor) the views of the Toronto skyline and Lake Ontario.
From Toronto Island Park, you get a full panoramic view of all the skyscrapers in the city. Fresh, earthy green leaves and grass bring extra serenity and contentment to the scene.
Sailing through the ocean passing through island after island in the British Columbia area, watching the sun slowly fade away as dusk begins to appear in front of us.
The stunning sunset above downtown Vancouver I had to capture as the elevator was rapidly going up Harbour Center.
Sunsets in a way are such rarities--it's hard to capture the exact same sunset and if you miss your window...it can be a completely different outcome.
Kitslano Beach Part II: After the sun sets, you're faced with blue hour at twilight. The colors begin to mute a bit, the glow fading but still reflecting on the skyscrapers, and the mountains darken more, creating a marvelous contrast against the sky and waters.

One of the most peaceful, enchanting places I've ever seen.
Everywhere you walk, all 360 degrees around you is being enveloped by a bunch of tall 250-year-old Douglas-firs. It truly was a magical, adventurous day walking (and running) around the forest, up and down the stairs, and exploring mysterious suspension bridges tucked away in the middle of the park.
Absolutely spectacular night views of the city of Vancouver from the Top of Vancouver Revolving restaurant!
The view changes every second--the lights from the city and the bay were beyond phenomenal to look at from sunset to dark.
Kitslano Beach Part I: That moment where you're sitting right between golden hour and blue hour, where you still get the orange colors but the darkening sky creates a greater contrast.
The beauty of Vancouver is even more striking after the sunset, with shadows of the mountains coming alive.

I added in some warmer tones to this to create the effect of an incoming sunset, included a faded turquoise streak, a couple snow droplets, and some extra human aspect to it.
