"The sky used to be our limit. Now our imagination creates our limit"




Boats rides are always fun, no matter the occasion.
 It shows you another view of the city or place that you are visiting. A more close view of everything. When i was about to land in Chicago last month, i saw all these tall buildings rising from the ground like they were dancing with the sky. As i got closer and closer to the ground all these building were fading away by their brothers. One building in special caught my eye on my way down and it was this amazing blue-glass made tower. After being in Chicago for a couple of days i decided to take a trip on the city by myself and i stood in front of this mass glass tower, but again something was missing. The boat ride made me see this amazing building from a perfect angle. Perfect timing as well, the sun was shining and the reflex was at the very half of the building. Camera, aim, shot.
As i said before, if you really want to explore a city, you got to use a bike or a boat.

"Shadows cannot see themselves in the mirror of the sun"

I took this photo when i was backpacking in South America this year. I love taking photos. When i was standing there looking at the reflection of the sky on the water, i saw this bird standing there, drinking water and his shadow is the same size of his body, but together with the sky, the landscape and the reflection it looks like the shadow of his legs are pretty long. I thought it was strange and awesome at the same time, so i took my camera, and took the photo.
Location: northern Argentina.

I took this photo while i was listen to music and playing with my flashlight last night. I started doing some figures with my hand and this one came up and i thought it was funny.

Turning Torso, the experience

This Building is in Malmö, Sweden(where i lived before moving to the US). The city is located on the south of Sweden. For me, this building represent in some way the city of Malmö. The building is 190m high and its a residential building. When they started to build this place it bother me because they close one of my main spot where i used to fish so for like 1½ year i couldn't get closer. In 2006 the building was finished and the view was stunning. I believe is like half of the willis tower here in Chicago but the view from the building is amazing. You can see Denmark and the whole city and its suburbs of Malmö. Now the place is well known for being a tourist attraction and on summers the beach that is just 50 meters away gets full of people doing BBQ, playing soccer, etc.

Elephants invasion

On my trip to Amsterdam, while i was walking with my friend we saw these weird elephants all over the city, many of them with coins attached to them. It was an interesting idea.....I don't want to get into details but when you are in Amsterdam and after visiting a few coffee shops...the elephants are....especial!
here you have a couple of pictures
