“I hear the colors of your voice.” — Adrienne Rich

Walking among the giant Redwoods I felt like I was in a place of worship. I felt incredible peace and the quiet was comforting, not anxious. There is a place called Cathedral Grove and the silence there brought me down to my knees. I was crying shamelessly. It is truly a place of magic and when I came out I felt renewed. (Since Jan. 16, 2018, you need to reserve a parking place before heading there. There is no cell phone service or WiFi at or around the woods, so do it in the city and download the voucher in advance. Use GoMuirWoods.com) #NoFilter #Unedited #muirwoods

راہ تکتا ہے سب شہر جاناں چلو राह तकता है सब शहरे जानां चलो। - Faiz Ahmed Faiz #newyorkcity #sohonyc #streetphotography

“Sunset brings the stranger back to his well, like a song that isn’t sung, and sunset kindles in us a longing for a mysterious desire.” - Mahmoud Darwish #newyorkcity #sunset #batterypark

“Your gaze scans the streets as if they were written pages: the city says everything you must think...” — Italo Calvino #newyorkcity #streetphotography

“Across the street someone is playing ‘La Vie En Rose.’ They do it for the tourists. But I am always surprised at how it moves me. It means seeing life through rose-colored glasses. Only in Paris, where the light is pink, could that song make sense, but I will have it in my pocket when I get home. And I will take it with me wherever I go from now on.”

Père Lachaise Cemetery is the largest cemetery in Paris. Millions of visitors come here annually. Mostly because it’s beautiful but also because a lot of famous people are buried here including Oscar Wilde, Jim Morrison, Delacroix, Chopin, and Proust to name a few. The Yellow Vest protests, over hiked fuel prices, were just beginning to grab the headlines at this time. Over the weekend, cars in Paris were torched, stores were looted and the Arc de Triomphe was vandalized. 💔 #perelachaisecemetery #paris
