Waiting in the car and killing time taking pictures

Moss in February light

I love the green moss and the back light of February coming from behind it.

Art work

I have been working on my sculpture project this weekend, working with dark clay is so easier for me. This my work in progress on this one

The tunnel to the railway station was always dirty, full of graffiti, dark and dingy. Nowadays it is colorful, bright and no one has yet done any graffiti art or scribble there which is a nice surprise

Sunset

Beauty, majestic nature. Just beautiful, sunset at sequoia. All unedited photos 😀.
