A pragmatic science-lover studying mechatronic engineering. My time is filled by CAD, programming, 3D printing, reading, and taking pictures of nature. I'm cursed with the desire to always have an ambitious project on my docket.

I’m always looking up & admiring the grand things, but sometimes looking down can be interesting too.

I saw this curious lizard outside, and only when I approached it did I realize it possessed a wildly colorful deterrence mechanism.

What’s stopping you? It’s not that the path is shrouded in darkness, is it?

Also my first attempt at properly editing a low-light picture.

I saw this Mallard on a walk a few days ago. It didn’t make any efforts to flee, which allowed me to get up close to take a picture.
Does anyone know what it was doing in this pose?

Let me know what you think.

The world is much more than the day-to-day chaos.
All we need is to stop and take a minute to breathe,
to stop and look. 🍀

An nearly full moon taken last year.

Whenever I think about it, I’m always intrigued how every picture of the moon taken on earth is of its same side.
Might be a hot minute before I can get a picture of the dark side 🙂

Good morning everyone!

I’ve always loved dramatic skies, and I loved how the lighthouse was made tiny beneath these clouds.

Taken on the east side of the Yucatan peninsula in Mexico.

Cumulus cloud formations seen above the water, with a portion of coast on the right with a few buildings. A lighthouse can be seen in the center at a distance, overshadowed by the clouds. Taken from ground level in the afternoon.

The aurora borealis I was privileged enough to witness (unexpectedly) in May of 2024.

These were captured in British Columbia. I increased the saturation slightly to better distinguish them.

Good morning! Finally Friday.

On an entirely unrelated note, I’d never seen a stop sign in French until now.

I had the opportunity to meet quite a charming Canadian Goose recently. However, clearly only one of us was charming…
I was quickly left staring at the trees from afar.

A debonair Canada Goose staring at the camera. It has a black head and neck, white cheeks, white under its chin, and a brown body. It stands amidst a flock of geese in a park during the evening. There is a distant treeline. A Canada Goose walking away from the camera.

Avalon, Catalina Island. One of my favourite views to date.

A view of the coastal town of Avalon on Catalina Island in 2022, seen from an elevated hill opposite to the town. The bay’s cerulean water can be seen replete with boats, and the town climbs partway up on the mountains, mountains which extend off the frame to the right.

I had the opportunity yesterday to stop by the Notre-Dame Basilica in Montreal. I don’t know what I was expecting, but it wasn’t this!
