Lily Pond's Splashy Textures + Patterns

We went on a sunny stroll through parts of the Golden Gate Park, eventually stumbling upon Lily Pond.

From afar, the water looks quite murky, but from an artistic perspective, the details in the water here sort of reminds me of a Van Gogh painting, especially when you compare it to the textures and patterns of the water reflections.

Turquoise Blue Skies and Palm Trees Effect

Saw a row of palm trees in a straight line and had to capture it front and center!

I decided to make this into a vertical photo to try something new and unique and give the palm trees a chance to shine on their own (with an added turquoise hue filter).

Blue Skies Ahead: Vibrant Colors of Golden Gate Bridge

One of those truly rare crystal clear blue sky days in San Francisco, where everything shined so brightly, from the glistening dark blue water to the sparkling sun. No speck of fog or low clouds in sight. 

Downtown Cleveland's Historic Glass Skylight Atrium

The impressive Victorian-style atrium in The Arcade. 

The beauty of this structure really shines through, from the architectural design of the building to the glass skylight in the atrium. 

Aerial View of Snowy Mountains in Canada

Striking, stunning mountains covered in snow all across western Canada. It's so surreal and makes you do a double take (are those clouds or mountains?) I couldn't resist these aerial views and of course, had to capture all of them! 

Autumn Trees Reflections in the Walkway Effect

I saw one of the most pristine, precise walkways at the botanical garden the other day and knew I had to take a picture! As I was editing the photo, I felt like it was missing that extra pizzazz so I started manipulating this, doing a complete carbon copy of the image on the left, swapping it the other way, and adding it to the right! The photo somehow looks more complete, like perfectly symmetrical walkways right next to each other, with the carefully crafted shadows. I changed up the hues a bit, giving it that soft autumn orange vibe.
