Seattle, WA.

This was just a really good scene. Plus it’s got that blue/orange/purple contrast that people like.

Thanks for seeing my work!

Seattle is the largest city in the US state of Washington. With an estimated population of 780,000, it is the 18th-most populous city in the United States, while the wider Seattle metropolitan area exceeds four million residents. The city lies on an isthmus between Puget Sound and Lake Washington, and it is a major port and gateway for trade with the Asia-Pacific region. Founded in 1851 and named after Chief Seattle, a local Native American leader, the city grew through logging, maritime trade, and the Klondike Gold Rush. In the 20th and 21st centuries, it has been a center for aerospace and technology led by companies such as Boeing, Microsoft, and Amazon. Today, Seattle is a major hub for trade and technology, and is known for its influence on music. This long-exposure photograph shows the skyline of Downtown Seattle at night, with Interstate 5 in the foreground.

Was out on a bike trip in the mountains yesterday to the Eibsee. It's one of the most Instagram overhyped locations you can find in Bavaria, but having been there I also get it. It's just really that beautiful. Was the perfect time, bc next to the car park the path was still snowed in, which kept a lot of people from walking around the lake I think. So far less tourists than usually. And the mountains are still snow covered, which for me is the second most beautiful state after fall colors :)

God, Seattle just constantly serves scenery, composition, color, and style, constantly.

I had a hell of a time there over the last weekend, and will still have a few more pieces to post from my time there, which I’ll space out over a few days so as to not drown your feed.

Thanks for seeing my work!

This is an artificial pond, but it has become home to so many plant and animal species that it has been declared a protected biotope. In the centre a landing mute swan (Cygnus olor).

The Hualien earthquake occurred on 3 April 2024. It was a Mw 7.4 earthquake in Hualien County, Taiwan. At least 19 people were killed and over 1,100 were injured. It was the strongest earthquake to strike Taiwan since the 1999 Jiji earthquake. This photograph shows the partially-collapsed Uranus Building.

From the Kerry Park summit!

I am never making that climb again.
