Lunar Eclipse | Kigali, Rwanda
September 7, 2025 🌑

This image has taken on new meaning after watching the Artemis II lunar flyby. The same Moon I photographed here is now part of a renewed human journey into deep space.

As a Nikon shooter, I love that NASA uses Nikon cameras on missions like this. It creates a personal connection between Earth and space.

Towering stalks of bamboo reaching endlessly toward the sky 🌿

Walking through the bamboo grove in Arashiyama feels almost otherworldly; the wind moving through the forest creates a quiet, natural rhythm that you can’t capture anywhere else.

L’Hoest’s monkey in the wild, photographed deep inside Nyungwe National Park 🇷🇼

The forest light was soft after rain, greens saturated, and the moment lasted just a few seconds, long enough for eye contact.

One of 13 primate species found in Nyungwe, one of Africa’s oldest rainforests.

Standing above the tea fields as clouds roll through layered hills, quiet, vast, and grounding.

Sunset in Rwanda 🇷🇼
Soft golden light breaking through the clouds, rolling green hills, and banana trees stretching across the landscape. Moments like this are a reminder of how powerful and peaceful travel can be; sometimes all you need is to pause and look.
