Happy anniversary to one of my favorite places in the world. John Muir's "Range of Light", Yosemite, was set aside by the federal government, today, 132 years ago. This action predates the founding of the National Park Service and even Yellowstone's incorporation as the first National Park. Yosemite came before all of that, set aside under the care of California, for all to enjoy. For me, Yosemite is the place of quiet contemplation and spiritual grandeur that really threw my love of the National Parks into overdrive. It is the best example of what 'America's best idea' is and an inspiration to the world. Happy anniversary, friend. I’m so happy I got to revisit you this summer and I can’t wait to return, again and again.

“ This grand show is eternal. It is always sunrise somewhere; the dew is never all dried at once; a shower is forever falling; vapor ever rising. Eternal sunrise, eternal sunset, eternal dawn and gloaming, on seas and continents and islands, each in its turn, as the round earth rolls. “- John Muir

There are two festival in Islam. One is Eid Ul Fiter and other one is Eid Ul Adha. After one month of fasting Muslims are allowed to enjoy Eid Ul Fiter. Around two months later they slaughter animals by the name of Allah. That is Eid Ul Adha. Although in both Eid it is meant to be joy of giving. However it also open the door to all sorts of traders.
After couple of days later of Eid Ul Adha I visited a place where raw-lather of slaughtered animals were stored. It was not easy to work in a sloppy place like that. On the other hand they had no protective gear even during the world wide COVID 19 pandemic situation. This guy in the picture was waiting for the customer to sale raw-leather.
Super excited about this one. Hawk Hill is one intense place to go shooting, especially at night, and especially when it’s foggy. What I love about this photograph is that you can actually see the fog moving above the Golden Gate Bridge but you can also see it floating right in front of the hills and catching the beams of light from passing cars. The whole experience was surreal and ethereal and otherworldly; you feel like you’re perched above San Francisco, with the whole of the city and The Bay spread before you while the very air and sky in front of you glows and undulates and flashes with streaks of shimmering iridescent vapor. And of course, there’s The Golden Gate Bridge, looming in front of you, overpowering all in its presence, and happily spanning the whole horizon and defining the space. San Francisco is magic.
In Golden Gate National Recreation Area, you are on Muwekma, Ohlone, and Ramaytush land. #FindYourPark

Sometimes, the second you’re done traveling, and in the absence of all that motion and purpose and fun and discovery, you immediately miss it. You crave it. You could have just gotten off the plane. You could have just unpacked your bag. It doesn’t matter. You’ll get in the car, put on some music, start to drive, and realize you’re not doing to see something new. You’re not going to see something exciting or relaxing. This is just a regular old drive to run errands or pick up groceries. It’s not one of those special drives down a winding road laden with purpose and anticipation. It’s just a regular day. And on that regular day you begin to crave adventure again.

Under a moody violet sky, the Bhumibol Bridge rises like a luminous crown over the Chao Phraya River. The interplay of gold cables and magenta reflections turns Bangkok’s nightscape into a surreal dreamscape — where architecture, color, and water meet in perfect harmony.
This long-exposure shot captures the bridge’s dynamic energy and the quiet rhythm of the river below. It’s a portrait of Bangkok’s dual nature — graceful and modern, reflective and electric.
A gentle pause in the middle of nature — a moment where breath, earth and inner calm meet.
Her vibrant hair becomes a stream of warm energy, her posture a quiet sanctuary.
A portrait of grounding, softness and strength, captured in one peaceful frame.
Where architecture, rhythm, and light collide.
This riverside restaurant glows like a living sculpture beneath the illuminated span of Bangkok’s Bhumibol Bridge. The bamboo curves breathe warmth and craftsmanship, while the magenta and amber lights pulse with modern energy — a reflection of the city’s creative spirit.
It’s a portrait of Bangkok at night: bold yet graceful, rooted yet futuristic. The interplay between organic design and engineered geometry mirrors the pulse of the Chao Phraya itself — ever moving, ever alive.
Captured at twilight, this image celebrates the fusion of Thai architectural soul and urban dynamism, suspended in the glow of Bangkok’s endless night.
“We have built no national temples but the Capitol; we consult no common oracle but the Constitution.” - Representative Rufus Choate, 1833

#onthisday, September 17th, in 1787, the American experiment in enlightened government took a major step forward and a united government was formed. This new unified government simultaneously compounded and compromised the power of the 13 states that had once been colonies and had been separate governments. Although the constitution that was formed at that time had deep flaws in it, and supported existing power structures and social, racial, and gendered hegemony and unbalanced hierarchy, the crux of the idea behind the new United States was compromise and change. The Constitution was only ratified if it could be changed and amended leading to the unlimited potential for growth and betterment of the people that maintain the government. The fundamental principle is still with us today. And may it always be so. May we always grow and change to meet the times we are in.

Paris, au lever du soleil.
La lumière dorée du matin caresse les façades du siège historique de la Caisse des Dépôts et Consignations, établissement public fondé en 1816, gardien des intérêts collectifs.
Un instant de calme avant le réveil de la ville — quand l’histoire, la pierre et la lumière se rencontrent. #Paris #France #architecture #morninglight #sunrise #goldenhour #heritage #historicbuilding #urbanphotography #travelphotography #ParisArchitecture #cityscape #fineartphotography #flickrexplore #flickrfeature #streetphotography #flickrphoto #flickrfrance #parismaville #exploreparis #monument #travelgram #flickrcommunity
