From this scene, it looks like a tropical, humid summer with vibrant plants and overcast slash rainy skies.
The reality is more like winter...but still just as magnificent when you watch the contrast of nature and city vibes come alive from this garden.

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.

The loud yet calming sounds of the waterfall captures our attention--and holds it--as we make our way around the walkway, catching all angles of the falls.
Lush green space can be found everywhere across Singapore, adorning skyscrapers and sky terraces (both indoors, outdoors) in a scenic, artsy way.
I am always fascinated by the strong weather contrast in islands. On the left side it is raining, but right in front of me, the skies are clear and as we approach closer to dusk...the remaining twilight light from the sun continues to glow intensely for a few more minutes before fading into darkness.

Memorial Park Part II: As we near sunset, the clouds begin to have that yellow golden glow, offering up some extra saturation into the otherwise grey, mostly overcast sky. The lake reflections also add some additional flair into the atmosphere.
Sandia Mountains Part V: The stunning view heading down from the mountains, as sunset changed into twilight and the light began to fade in the horizon.
Sandia Mountains Part IV: A dry, hot, clear and sunny day ended perfectly with a sunset surrounded by a couple clouds ~10k+ feet above on the mountains.
Piedmont Park Part I: Even a cloudy day cannot affect the atmosphere or the views at Piedmont Park. Lush green trees, clear lake reflections, and skyscraper views from Midtown are widespread throughout the tranquil park.
Garden of the Gods Part III: Magnificent, larger-than-life rock formations present such electrifying feelings as we walk from sunset into twilight.
Garden of the Gods Part II: The clouds that form during sunset above the mountains are nothing short of spectacular. As the sunset hues and shadows continue to deepen, golden shades are cast across the entire landscape.
Garden of the Gods Part I: We see such natural beauty high above at the Garden of the Gods. As sunset approaches, cirrus clouds start to develop, casting a golden glow to this exceptional view of surreal rock formations.
This is a famous spot for photos, photoshoots and the like. The open circle above exposes the trees in all of its glory. The coolest part is that the everchanging weather and lighting throughout the day can change the viewpoint and atmosphere pretty quickly.
Add in a spiral staircase, sleekly modern grey colors, and the right angle...you'll land on the perfect capture.
Sandia Mountains Part III: Timing is everything. From Sandia Peak, I managed to catch the sunset at the perfect window, with the clouds at its most vibrant color. The orange hues peak out for a few minutes across the sky before fading into softer colors and into grayness.

Sandia Mountains Part II: A breathtaking vantage point of the Albuquerque desert and city view from the Sandia tramway as we descend down during the twilight hour.
From this level, we have visibility into more than just the city--the outside landscape can be seen from the distance, creating a birds-eye perspective of the New Mexico area.

Sandia Mountains Part I: The best time to descend from the Sandia Peak? Right around sunset, as the sky jumps from sunset to twilight, into dusk.
It was quite an impressive scene going from 10,000 feet above sea level to 4,000 feet in a tramway, catching the scatters of lights, colors, and changes in terrain as we navigate rocky mountains of all shapes and textures to the desert and cityscape views.
Came across this absolutely beautiful view of the edges of northern San Francisco during a weekend hike and had to stop to capture it. The bright green grass, turquoise-blue waters, cliffside views of the nearby beaches and Presidio park created this picture-perfect moment.
Flying high above the sky with the clearest visibility of the Simi Valley mountains. Such a great blend of mountains, the city life, and chill beach waters.
The Multnomah Falls is a classic favorite.
I decided to manipulate this photo a bit, adding in green-blue pastel hues to make it resemble more like a painting. I also incorporated colorful leaves and some human element so it appears I'm stepping "into the scene."
