One of the reason was that there was a different star in the sky over this island nation. A start that brought a chance of a renewed hope to keep moving forward each day and accept the good and bad things that life throws. As I watched the city buzzling, I felt what every native feel about their world – the hope for another better day.

This is the win, that I take away from this moment. The blessing that tomorrow will bring another chance to be better and do better despite the obstacles that life brings.

I wanted to feature a landscape image that I took in Maryland at nearby Golf course. This was a simple image to capture, but when you look closely at the clouds you will see a snapshot of a moment in time. This moment lasts but for a fraction of a second and then it is on to another moment. However, when you capture many moments from the same location, you get to see a snapshot of what these moments look like together. Even though collectively these moments small, you can now begin to see somethings different and in my opinion – more beautiful.

I cherish the ability to see and capture these moments and as part of my “BEauty Around Us” (BEAU) Series, I wanted to make these available so we can see what we truly behold in each moment one after another.

Everyone has seen the sunrise and the sunset in various places during their lifetime. Nothing special right? No. The ability to capture an event that happens every day is and see the unique side is uncommon. For example, how about the how the lights react to the closing out of another chapter or the sound of the ocean waves as each they welcome in darkness. These are the things that a snapshot of the sunset leaves out, but you need to look out for the light display after you think the show is over and wonder if it really was a smooth transition.

This scene was witnessed in Jaco, Costa Rica and I think you will agree with me that this is one of the most beautiful and peaceful things that happens around the world each day.

I believe this was one of the best views of the city that exhibited the elements of my BEauty Around Us (BEAU) Series. My quest to see and experience this has not always been rewarding, but on this day as I took that turn to head back to the hotel, I saw a view of Sao Paolo that left me in awe.

This would have been a nice timelapse, but I didn’t have enough battery life to complete that task, so I settled for the next best thing – “a snapshot of time” that will leave you wondering how in the midst of so many can you find a beautiful and peaceful moment.

Today’s featured image is a snapshot of a moment in time from my trip to Brasil. This moment lives with me in infamy not only because I relate to the song but because the literal translation of Mas que Nada is “Yeah Right” in a sign of disagreement with another person.

I want you to imagine me say that a visit to this part of the world surpasses all your expectations and that it will blow your mind in ways beyond your expressions. And then you will say – “Mas que Nada”
