Cities at night are one of my favorite times for photography. For now I’m staying in and getting my photography fix by going through photos I’ve taken on past trips, like this beautiful night out in Hong Kong last year.

I do love New York, but more than anything I miss being around other people. Looks like it will be awhile before we are back outside among our friends, until then stay inside!

Traffic on The Embarcadero never stops. The good news is that if you wait until sun down, the lights and the Ferry Building really make the palm trees glow.

A quick hike up 400 steps to the top of Mount Royal rewards you with this view of Montreal! We made it up here just before sunset and were able to spot the places we had been earlier in the day throughout the city.

Sometimes it is the darkest skies that have the best colors. After the sun goes down the little light that was left over San Francisco was deep blue and purple and very moody.

The daylight was almost completely gone with just a little purple left in the sky. The front of The Peninsula Hotel is usually a dramatic view, but was really fantastic with many red lanterns lighting it up.

It can be easy to focus on what is in front of you in the hustle and bustle. Cities like Hong Kong are all about building towards the sky, and make it fun to take a minute to look up to really appreciate the architecture.

Hong Kong is fantastic. You have to make time to eat all the delicious food as well as take in the many beautiful views of the city!

The light was changing quickly and I had to move fast. I couldn’t see the horizon in any direction from where I was in the city. When I looked up I realized the shot I was looking for was right above me and my problems were solved.

Cities don’t always have to be square.
