We plan to release this officially soon — but you can check […]

a square seascape with rocks on 3 sides and a separate bunch of rocks in the very middle of the photo surrounded by the water. The sky is full of horizontal stripes with late evening peach colours. The rocks catch the last rays of sun painting them orange.

A lush forest scene, with a multi trunk maple vine leaning at an aggressive angle across the panoramic scene towards the brighter sunlit area on the right. The yellow leaves of the tree contrast strongly against the dark greens. Some haze from mist obscures the background forest slightly.
