Almost Monochrome: Dramatic Clouds and Lake Reflections

Duck Lake Part III: We can feel the clear sky slowly fading away, with tons of high clouds rolling in a few hours before sunset. 

The clouds end up creating an astonishing work of art, with a monochrome palette, unique shapes and textures, and fiercely clear water reflections. 

Streets of Yokohama: Colorful Building Aesthetics

After leaving Yokohama Station, I peered outside at this narrow streetway and immediately loved it. All the buildings are perfectly aligned, with neutral colors first in our view..,then colorful signs further out. The gray cast in the sky added to the cool vibes here, really allowing the neutral hues of the buildings to both blend in and stand out at the same time.  

Classic Stroll with Hint of Surprise

While strolling northeast on an overcast day, I noticed this luminous building that offered such refreshing reflections of nearby buildings, trees, and more. I adored it so much that I took multiple pics in different angles. But what I did not notice (until I reviewed the photo later) was that there was also a reflection of the Space Needle! Such an unexpected surprise. I also decided to add a pale pink filter to the photo to liven up the fresh winter-spring vibe.

Charming Chain of Lakes Collage

Foggy, cloudy, or overcast days can have its perks and benefits. The solemn sky gave these pictures a mysterious feel to it. The clarity of the lakes and trees were nicely defined, and the reflections added to the charm. I decided to layer the fonts for the title of the collage, changed the opacity, and added it all over the image. This is the most serene chain of lakes I've ever seen.
