I’ve always had an obsession with the sky - whether it be clouds, the moon, the sun, the stars - it has just always been my nature to look up. This was one night where the clouds and the moon were in perfect alignment, just a mottled mosaic of light and dark, a subtle murkiness spell cast by Nyx to hide Diana’s secret.
Far and Away
May 9, 2018 It was a beautiful sunny day, perfect weather. I have always loved watching the sky, whether watching clouds barrel across the void while on the ground the air was still as can be, gazing at the Milky Way and constellations as I was growing up in rural Michigan, or just watching the sunset with a glass of wine on my day off. So much to see up there, so much beauty, if only we take the time out of our busy days and lives to appreciate it. Blue is also my favourite colour, so the parceling of the clouds from whisps to clumps only added to that day
Oakland Sunset
I was on vacation visiting the San Jose, San Francisco and Oakland area for my birthday back on January 12, 2012. It was a fantastic trip - my host cooked a delicious dinner every night and he showed me some of the most incredible sunsets I have ever seen. Alas we were not meant to be, but the memories of his good company, food and the sunsets have definitely lingered. There is just something about taking the time out of a hectic day to watch the sky’s palette of colors change in such a dramatic fashion. For me it cleanses my mind, brings about a sense of peace and reflection and leaves me feeling better, regardless of my mood. Not to mention that each and every sunset is different, as well as uhm, free? Check one out sometime, you won[‘t be disappointed!
Kryptonopolis
It had been a wet and rainy evening, but my need to get out of the house trumped any atmospheric precipitation. One of my favourite haunts to take pictures is on the waterfront of Long Island City, a part of Queens. The rain had stopped by the time I came upstairs from the subway, but their were gorgeous repercussions. Mother Nature and man had pretty much compiled the image for me - the golden mist of the sky met the fog enshrouded skyscraper to produce a “picture-perfect picture,” if you will. The name of this photo comes from “Superman: The Movie” and is an updated homage to Krypton’s capital city. The fate of Superman’s homeworld is already foreshadowed in the image by the glowing green light atop one of the skyscrapers.
