One of the bedrooms from the Palace of Versailles

The place was absolutely packed
I squeezed in to get this picture and struggled to get a shot with no people in it, but I managed!

A rare moment of quiet at Kiyomizu-dera in autumn. The higher you go, the fewer the people. 😊

A couple shots of solar panels in Palm Springs. I really like the composition of the first one with the road and arrows!

Looking forward to #WWDC in June! This is an aerial picture I took of Apple Park just before the one that launched Apple Vision Pro. I wonder what they’ll release this year 🤔

Sunset in Charleston, South Carolina! Love the mix of the straight line and storefront lighting

A really cool, but trippy sculpture in Boston. Next time I’m bringing a gimbal to get a 360 of this!

A snap of the mesmerizing light strip room in teamLab Borderless! Within this mirrored room they stretch from floor to ceiling, save a few passageways

This incredible building is BioSphere 2 in Arizona. The architecture is really cool and the mountains make an awesome backdrop.

Half Dome in Yosemite during sunset. The way it layers on the top is so interesting! Next time I go I’ll have to catch firefall ☺️

A top down of some breakwaters in Hawai’i. This was one of my first top down shots after getting a Mini 3 Pro and I really liked how it came out!

One of the fox statues from Fushimi Inari 🦊 It’s a beautiful hike in Kyoto with some awesome food at the bottom. The shrine was packed in November!

Sunset in Half Moon Bay. The clouds were amazing that evening. This is one of my favorite sunset photos I’ve taken, and it’s from my worst camera: a Mini 3 Pro!

Aerial top-down of beautiful Kiholo Bay with a color graded tree. The volcanic rock gives an excellent contrast with the vibrant waters of Hawaii
