Late evening, you know. Always feels different, the city like this at night. All these cars, their headlights, they really cut through the dark. Makes you wonder where everyone is going.

The painting, it wasn't a photo, more like the feeling of the…boddhisattva in # photography • 11 days ago • 1 min readReflections of a quiet autumn daySorry for the double post Walking along the river on cloudy day I felt peace.

That day was no exception, as every step along the alley was carpeted with crimson and golden leaves.
