" A view from the Empire State Building of Manhattan’s many Office Towers. Each one is unique in design and stature. But if you look closely one building’s rooftop sports a decorative design. Look for the gift-wrapped box complete with red ribbon and bow. " Says the photographer .

You just say the words and we'll beat the birds
Down to Acapulco Bay
It's perfect for a flying honeymoon, they say
Come fly with me, let's fly, let's fly
Pack up, let's fly away!! " these are the words of the original photographer .

" It's coming on Christmas
They're cutting down trees
They're putting up reindeer
And singing songs of joy and peace
I wish I had a river
I could skate away on

" just a taster of what is to come, after my friend Brendan started making lego cufflinks he planted the seed of an idea in my head so this is just the begining of a little project.

Calm after the storms...

Calm after the storms..., originally uploaded by rasone.

" If you have been watching the national news lately, you will have seen that the Pacific Northwest recently got pounded with some serious rain/wind storms. The storms flooded quite a few areas, and also caused I-5 in Washington State to be closed for the last few days. The storms have passed over now, and this evening it was perfectly calm along the river.

I decided to head down here this evening after work to check it out. I haven't been down to the river for about a month now, and after all these storms, the water was incredibly high. In the future, I would love to get this shot with some fog and some moving clouds."

" I've been quickly scanning through the hundreds of shots i've taken in the last few days looking for something that really conveys the sheer violence and energy of the waves that we've had this weekend. Ultimately, nothing comes close to standing on the clifftops and feeling the elements in person, but i think this one begins to paint the picture. " These were the words of the original photographer .

Frosty Morning

" This is another image from my recent trip to Canada. I was sorta on the fence with this one and that's why I am just now posting it (besides the fact that I don't have anything new to share because I haven't been out shooting for about a week now :)). The conditions were ok for this, but technically, I sorta messed this one up by having the foreground slightly out of focus. I have cropped out more than half of the grass at the bottom in this one." Said the photographer .
