The MV-22 Osprey from the VMM-266 (Marine Medium Tiltrotor Squadron 266 Fighting Griffins). It still intrigues me how this aircraft was conceived.

Those oil streaks at the side of the aircraft adds a bit of "grit".

Sometimes I get into a photo slump. I have no idea why that happens. The other night I just decided to walk around and even left my camera bag behind. I've learned I can't force myself to be creative at the spur of the moment.

Royal Bank Plaza in black and white.

The two towers have more than 14,000 windows and they contain 71,000 grams of gold.

Reflections.

Reflections from a tall office building of another building. The side of the building is uneven in a diamond pattern. So the reflections are almost like fractals.

1 of 2: Racer Steven Chen (@ychen_steven on IG) getting ready for qualifying session at last Friday's Honda Indy. This is the Radical Cup Series.
Front view of open cockpit racing car that looks like the old racing cars from Le Mans. The car has black front wings, green border with Michelin stickers and mostly grey body colour. The car also has a green strip running from the front and that is bordered by smaller dark blue, a wider light blue, smaller dark blue, wider light blue and smaller dark blue. The strips also cover the roll bar. Racer Steven Chen holding on one of the roll bars and looking into the open air cockpit. Steven is wearing a black racing suit. A closer look of race car driver Steven Chen with his hands crossed standing beside the car. Mr. Chen is in his early 20s, probably 5' 7", black hair with light brown streaks.

A swan preening and then jumping back into the algae covered pond. It's my first time seeing a swan with its leg up like that. But it's normal.
