Streets of Porto: Aligning Up to Clerigos Church

Porto has famous cobblestone steps, small streets and walkways, a mix of neutral and colorful (extremely narrow!) buildings, and we can't forget about those steep hills. On this particular pathway, I love the alignment of all the buildings and how perfect is is with the twists and turns of the street, leading up to the well-known Clerigos Church. 

Top of Vancouver's Revolving Night Views of Lights

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. 

Chicago at Night: Mesmerizing Walks in the Light

One of those magical kind of nights in downtown Chicago, surrounded by bustling restaurants, bars, and streets and tall skyscrapers glowing softly in the distance. 

The Tokyo Street Scene at Twilight

When you're inside a tall building and you peer outside, you mostly just look straight across at the skyscraper views, etc...but sometimes staring right down below is even more enticing and thrilling (depending on if you're scared of heights or not). 

It was amazing looking outside the window at the freeway traffic, cars, and the daily lives of the people in the downtown area at twilight. The twinkle of lights and the darkening of skies makes for pretty awesome people-watching from above. 

Manhattan Bridge Views from DUMBO, Brooklyn

Stumbled upon this block with a view of the Manhattan bridge, not realizing this is one of the most famous views from Brooklyn of the bridge...until we see a swarm of other tourists capturing this glorious scenery.

Over the Edge: Layered Rocks at Warm Water Cove Park

An overcast day in the city, but a stroll towards the edge of land is still a must. I love how tranquil this scenery is. Small, hidden gems of a park are the best for solo adventures.

100 Floors Above: Night Lights & Skyscrapers in New York

Loved this view from the One World Observatory 100 floors above ground level. You can see views ranging from the Empire State Building, Times Square, Downtown, and Midtown area and also the amount of light outside through all the traffic in the surrounding areas.

Definitely a must-see view that offers you a fresh, new perspective on everything in life and all it has to offer. Dreams may seem so out of reach, but they can become your own reality.

Sensational Twilight Lights and Reflections at Balboa Park

You should never miss a walk through the famous lily pond at Balboa Park.

After visiting the zoo, we walked through the rest of the park and caught this breathtaking scene right at twilight. Bright red clouds in the sky slowly fade and darken as the night nears. Scenic palm trees and light reflections are super strong and clear against this lily pond, making it one of the most striking reflections I've ever seen.

The Historical Brooklyn Bridge in New York City

A lovely walk across the Brooklyn Bridge heading directly to Brooklyn. This photo captures perfectly the magic of this bridge and offers a closer look at the fascinating design of it. Steel wires, perfect symmetry, historical structure, everything!

Aerial View of Downtown San Diego

The most relaxing city ever by the water. While flying across San Diego downtown, I captured this photo of the downtown skyline, clear blue sky, and sparkling ocean in the distance.

Palm Trees Lighting Up the Night Sky

Peeked through the gate and saw rows and rows of palm trees aligned next to each other and directly parallel to the others! Loved how nice it looks at night with the lights all lit up.

Over the Rainbow: Rain and Shine Across the Bridge

A mix of rain and sun makes the perfect recipe for a rainbow! Such an epic scenery gone in an instant.

Night Light Streams of Reflections at Cuyahoga River

Sunlight becomes sunset. Sunset becomes twilight. Twilight becomes dusk and as we got closer to pure darkness, I had to capture this view of Cleveland Memorial Shoreway in Cleveland. The lights glimmered so magnificently and the clear skies made the reflections even more vibrant. So many different colored lights adorned this bridge making it one of the coolest bridge photos.

Clear Blue Views of Mount Hood in the Distance

After a trek up Washington Park, we caught this spectacular view of Mount Hood from the distance. Bright green trees and partial views of the Portland downtown skyline can also be seen from this garden.

Twilight Lights Glow in the Space Needle

Post-sunset times always have the best light. Loved how blue the sky was at this time! It's perfect with a bit of a darkness and the lights are slowly starting to shine from the Space Needle.

Triangle Pyramid Architecture, Design, and Infrastructure

While walking around the city waterfront, we spotted this World Trade Center and had to get closer for a picture! The building had some of the most spectacular glass art and designs. What especially caught our eye was this sky bridge which had glass panel walls and columns with a triangle-shaped theme. The mid-afternoon sunlight added on to this bridge and provided some awe-inspiring reflections.

Portland's Twilight Night Waterfront Reflections

Colorful, glowing night lights in the city of Portland by the waterfront. We spent a few hours walking along the water, watching it from daylight to twilight. The reflections by the river became more striking and visible as the day got darker, making for a very compelling water imagery.

The Historical Sutro Baths at Land's End

Reading up on the history of the famous Sutro Baths is always a delight. Did you know it used to be a swimming pool? Today, it's a well-known, historical landmark in San Francisco right by Ocean Beach, surrounded by the Cliff House (which used to resemble a mansion), and the lovely Land's End mountain, rocks, and trails. On a perfectly crystal-clear day, I captured a view of this epic scenery from above.

City of Palm Trees: Famous Los Angeles Sunset

Everywhere you go around Los Angeles county...you're pretty much surrounded by palm trees. It makes for a fantastic, scenic drive despite all the traffic. Up above in a cozy room near downtown, I see this array of palm trees in the distance during sunset and had to capture this classic beauty. I added some sun flare, enhanced the saturation with pinkish orange hues, and blurred it out for a vintage-y, summery mix.

Light Sunrise Across the Bay Bridge Waters

Waking up bright and early can be cumbersome but with this clear sunrise of the Bay Bridge to start my day, it is all worth it.
