Snow-dusted granite cliffs and a waterfall above a forest in Yosemite National Park.

I think the best time to visit Yosemite is February. There is still some snow around the valley. The trees and the snow shine mystically because of the sun rays through the patchy clouds. Certainly a sight to behold. Yosemite National Park

Molten lava flowing into the ocean at Kalapana, creating thick clouds of steam.

I was visiting the Big Island of Hawaii with some friends and family, and my brother convinced the group to take a lava tour by boat. I always kind of balk a little bit at overtly touristy stuff like that, but I think everyone was a pretty shocked when we got our first look at the Kalapana Lava Flow after about a half hour boat trip down the coast.
It’s such an awesome, phantasmagorical sight and, since they actually get surprisingly close to the spots where the rivers of lava meet the ocean and throw up sulfurous steam clouds, also a pretty visceral sensory experience.

My friend had just learnt that her boss had decided to not pay her because of some crazy made-up excuse. It was so ridiculous that there was nothing to do but laugh about the whole situation.

The way the bokeh surrounds this neon sign makes me feel energetic.
