This cactus made me think about life today. Damaged, split, torn, yet standing tall. Fighting the good fight. A very good friend of mine had a stroke a few days ago. Damaged but staying strong for the recovery and life changes ahead. Don’t waste those precious days; you never know what will happen tomorrow.

Burnt pixels on my sensor say HELLO! when I crop photos. I joined a Discord for a new interest of mine. I normally like researching and learning stuff on my own, but I think this will help me learn faster. Also, being able to pick brains is cool.
More details from the building I posted a few days ago.
Early arrival at the airport this morning, caught the fleet at rest. In a few hours, it will be controlled chaos as hundreds of flights are launched from these gates.

I was eyeing the XF 70-300 for a very long time. I’m happy it wasn’t available at that time and that I went for the XC 50-230. I still feel like I didn’t push the limits of this lens too. I’m sure I can take killer portraits.
Long day of cancellations and changes. Ended up on two DH’s back home for the night. Back out bright and early in the morning, time to get people where they need to go.

A small ray of sunlight in brutal architecture
(Shot from yesterday)

Saw both ends of this rainbow, but no pot of gold in sight. I don’t remember when was the last time I shared an unedited color photo before this one.
Birbs.
Again from a few days ago, didn’t really feel like going out for photos today. Maybe tomorrow. :)
Long day today battling the Winter weather, I’m beat.
Made it through MDW unscathed and ontime which still amazes me. The whole day was worth it because of some Pad Thai. I just gotta say, if you are ever in Berkeley, CA. You have to stop at IMM Thai Street Food. It was hands down the best Pad Thai I’ve ever had in my life. Fresh rolls were outstanding and look at that homemade thick peanut sauce. I’ve fallen in love with food.
Note: this is my first food post on 365Pixels, I’m generally not inclined to post food pics, but imm Thai Street Food deserves the shoutout and a rightful place on this blog.
The hard working, kind people at imm’s made my day. I so appreciate you.

It’s the Vilnius Light Festival time again. The cold makes it difficult to take photos tho. I’m not too keen on grabbing the camera when it’s -15. Or I might need better gloves.

Layers of brutalism
I've been living in Wiesbaden for 7 years and I never get tired of the architecture.
