198 | Palaces and Stuff :: Moscow, Russia, 2013
Sometimes I find it strange that I’ve been inside the Kremlin before I ever got to visit the White House. Now that I think of it, I’ve never even been inside the Texas State Capital building. And given the current situation, I really highly regret not visiting the White House during the previous presidency. Sigh.

197 | Palaces and Stuff :: Tibet, 2014
The Potala Palace used to be the political center of Tibet, and the abode of the Dalai Lama, before the current Dalai Lama fled to India in 1959. It sits majestically atop the Red Hill in the center of Lhasa Valley, and is named after the home of Bodhisattva Chenresi (or Guanyin). Of all the palaces…

It literally just came to my attention that the British royal coat of arms has a unicorn on it.

195 | Palaces and Stuff :: Vienna, Austria, 2016
The Belvedere palace was built in the 18th century as a summer residence for some prince. As an UNESCO World Heritage Site, it boasts one of the best art collections in Austria.

A brief moment inside Kusama Yayoi’s Infinity Room in Shanghai. The magical world she creates mesmerizes and inspires, and I can see why they limit the time you can spend inside this room, because it takes you into a place of your imagination where you can just keep going and going. Also I can only…

My one and only semi-successful attempt at light writing, one night when we were bored in Bagan 😀

190 | Light :: Sydney, Australia, 2013
I remember it was a dreary day. The clouds were looming, and I lingered outside a coffee shop, deciding whether or not to go inside just in case it rained. That’s when I saw this lamp. I’m not sure whether it was by design, but when you look at the right angle, the reflection of…

Gorgeous gorgeous gorgeous light coming out of the clouds, after the rain.

188 | Light :: Marrakech, Morocco, 2017
Watching the sunset from the rooftop of one of Marrakech’s cafes, I happen to catch sun trapped inside the unlit light. It was an interesting moment, where the spirals that would soon become the source of light are at their darkest, and the sun struggles to give its last brightness before fading into the night.
