Human centred design 👨‍💻, music 🎧 and trail running for the views🏃 (All views are my own, taken on a run somewhere nice 🤭)

A large, weathered, and leafless dead tree with gnarled, twisting branches stands prominently against a heavy, overcast grey sky. The bark is light-colored and textured with age. At the base of the dead trunk, vibrant green leafy foliage from a living tree or shrub provides a sharp color contrast.
A vertical, eye-level photograph capturing a complex network of railway tracks and overhead power lines stretching into the distance under a gloomy, overcast sky. The foreground shows several sets of steel rails converging and diverging across a bed of dark brown gravel ballast. The tracks lead the eye toward a central vanishing point in the hazy distance. Above the tracks, a dense, weathered steel gantry system supports a chaotic web of electrical catenary wires and insulators. To the right, a modern multi-story building with a red-and-black gridded facade stands adjacent to the tracks, partially obscured by green shrubs. The overall color palette is desaturated and industrial, dominated by earthy browns, metallic grays, and the deep red of the nearby building, evoking a gritty, urban atmosphere.

A photograph of a very wet trail that follows the edge of a cliff, a lot of fog, so much fog that you cannot see the bottom of the cliff. The edges of the photograph are blurry due to raindrops on the lense.
