A few weeks ago was the Laguna Beach Dance Festival. After a lovely dinner we drove back to Irvine. On the drive back the ocean was crashing waves right besides us. What captures me about this photo (outside of my car window) is how cool and hot colors can mix. There is an electric feel that meets something ominous and dark. The definition in the lights, the motion, and contrast between moody hues and hot accents creates a tension that is both intriguing and full. The red creates an aura that has an initial conflict with the blues and then finds some blend that, although uneven, adds to the electricity and moodiness. There is a feeling of vitality in the night.

Really great study of warm and cool and their often times electric intersection!
