Seattle was everything I thought it was going to be. Amazing scenery, great food, nice people, and awesome weather. I really enjoyed this trip and can’t wait to go back.

This was a great second day in Seattle. This view of downtown has everything you can ask for. Buildings, water, motion, mountains, clouds and most importantly, a clear view of the setting sun.
It all worked together to give me a little glimpse into the complexity of a beautiful city like Seattle.

Sunset Hill, Seattle
I wanted to take a trip to the Pacific Northwest for a long time. Last year I was lucky enough to spend a few days in Seattle.
This photo is from a spot called Sunset Hill. It’s a beautiful area on the edge of a lovely neighborhood. I was able to sit in a picturesque park on a cool May afternoon and watch the sun sink behind the snow-covered mountains in the distance while all kinds of boats danced around the sound below.

This past November I got to spend three days running around Amsterdam taking in all the sights and sounds the city has to offer. The canals and architecture are impossibly scenic. It’s a bustling city full of cars, bikes, trams and smiling people. And like a scene straight out of a movie, you can stumble upon a giant chess match between two old men.

The World-Famous Pacific Park against the setting sun.
I’ve wanted to create this photo for a while and it came together perfectly. The lights and motion of the rides set against a background of dark clouds and a setting sun.
I still find it astonishing that there is a theme park on a pier, but it sure it pretty.

This week’s posts are from the first stop on my December trip. It all started with a day in LA.
I hadn’t spent much time in Santa Monica so I decided to spend the afternoon there. I started in Palisades Park which provided this amazing view of the hills meeting the ocean.

The sun rising over the Taj Mahal
While the actual Taj Mahal is by far the biggest draw, the area and other buildings on the grounds of the Taj Mahal are very beautiful as well.
If you go early you are treated to an amazing sunrise. The pollution might not be great for the lungs, but it does help provide some beautiful openings and closings to the day.

Orange glow from the rising sun on the white marble of the Taj Mahal.
As the sun continued to rise in the air it started to cast a beautiful orange hue on the white marble of the Taj Mahal.
The fog had started to burn off but was still lingering in the air.

The Taj Mahal through the surrounding trees.
Part of the amazingness of the Taj Mahal is how different angles reveal the craftsmanship and the intricacy of the design.

First sighting of the Taj Mahal
I traveled to India at the end of December. I’ve always wanted to experience Indian culture and food at the source, but my main motivation for going was to see the Taj Mahal.
You can see parts of the Taj Mahal from different areas around the city but it’s nothing compared to walking through the gates, into the dark interior of the entrance and seeing the beautiful, white shimmering building for the first time.
