Cityscapes Submissions 2024
Banff, Alberta Canada, July 2023
It was our first time in the Canadian Rockies and the town was beautiful but then we turned around to look back down the street and the mountain seemed to be a guardian right over the town!

Paris, France, October
A picture of the overgrown abondened railroad that surrondes Paris.
Japan
This photo of lily pads and the greenery surrounding them captures "belonging beyond borders" by showing how nature unites us across cultural divides. In every city, spaces providing access to greenery and nature offers a peaceful sanctuary that welcomes all, symbolizing a shared connection to the environment that transcends boundaries.

-Fyodor Dostoevsky, White Nights"
Hlotse, Lesotho, January 2024
We came across this house in Hlotse, an important market town in Lesotho and the capital of Leribe District. I like how the window reflects the less-than-urban nature of the town. This photo highlights how inventive people can be--using what you have to create what you need.
Koenji, Japan, October 2024
I brought my compact digital camera on this trip in an attempt to catch some grainier photos to capture the “Japanese aesthetic.” I think I ended up doing a pretty good job of it as well (of these respective areas, at least, not of the whole country).
Venice, July 5, 2024
Finding haven in a quiet side street.
Presidio, September 1, 2024
My second home - San Francisco
Vernazza, Cinque Terre, Liguria Region, Italy, June 2023
Sharing one of my favorite places in Italy with friends was unforgettable. Sunbathing on the rocky coast of Vernazza, dipping into the sea, and savoring fresh focaccia with Aperol Spritz in hand. Each moment felt like a true Italian summer, filled with laughter, salty air, and stunning views!
Petra, Jordan & Cairo, Egypt, October, 2024
While recruiting international students for USF I took a break to find future Dons and see the sights.
Baker Beach, September 1, 2024

Seoul, South Korea, 2024 Spring Semester
This photo was taken during HUG"s (a club for exchange students to explore Korea with Korean students) last field trip of the semester. We went all the way to Incheon and spent a day there, exploring Incheon's Chinatown and harbor. We rode a viking ride and found this sign to take a photo at. Truly a spectacular way to end our semester together.
El Nido, Palawan, Philippines, Summer 2022
"In El Nido, Palawan, Philippines; home isn't only found in the 7,641 islands - it's found within the spirit of its people."
Hamburg, July 2023
"In every station, a world converges—languages blend, paths cross, and, for a moment, we all belong to the same journey."

Visiting the Atomium in Brussels, Belgium during my study abroad program's trip to Brussels, Belgium.

Above is the ceiling of Mercado Central. The market is a historic landmark built in the early 19th century, and is at the heart of Valencian life. Inside, you can find hundreds of vendors, locals doing their daily shopping, along with travelers exploring the local Spanish cuisine.
Manila, Philippines, March 2024
After a long day of consulting with family businesses, the USF cohort of BUS 477 experienced Manila from the Roof Deck of the I'M Hotel
San Miguel de Allende, Mexico, July, 2022
Brightly colored doors show that the pride that home and business owners take in their space. The collection of brightly colored doors helps the city feel cheery, even during rainstorm season!

"Cities may divide us with borders, but rivers remind us of the flow that connects us all."
NY, NY, 2022
Less than a week after graduating high school I was reunited with my school orchestra in New York for a final concert. New York isn't a different country, but flags are fun.
Cinque Terre, Italy, April, 2022
A hike along the Amalfi Coast.
Vatican City, Rome, November 2024
"Being surrounded by such monumental and historic art, this took my breath away with its enormity and made this a surreal moment."
Piazza Michaelangelo, Florence, November 2024
"Watching the sun set over Florence with this large group of people was the most wholesome thing ever. Hearing the sounds of people taking pictures and running around to get the best view of the skyline is something I will always look back on."
Prague, Czech Republic, October 2024
I was just crossing a bridge and thought the colours and composition looked good.
