Dark Vintage Watercolor Reflections and Art Imagery

This is such a surreal lake that I had to take multiple pictures of it. I wanted to play around with the hues and saturation of it and give it a nice, soft, pastel dream-like quality but also add a darker effect to it with lowered saturation for a moody vintage-y vibe.

Ray of Light: Oculus Mall's Modern Architecture and Design

A stunning design for the largest mall in the city. The interior of this is spectacular letting natural light enter into the shopping area with modern designs, shadows, and inspiration around every corner.

Pink Sunset Skies and Palm Trees by the Lake

Camelback Lake Part III: Such delicate colors and beauty by the lake during the most beautiful hour of the day, intertwined between the glorious golden and blue hours of sunset. This was so peaceful and one of the most breathtaking views ever.

Land of the Free: Intricate Library Designs & Architecture

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.

The Mountain in the Desert: Thriving Green Cacti Plants

Desert Botanical Garden Part II: With all the rain that Phoenix has been getting during the winter, this desert is actually very green for once, which is such a rare sight. I loved this mountain filled with cacti plants...everywhere. This is definitely my favorite part of this garden; I can stare at this view for hours and hours and walk along this path for a while.

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.
