Week 6 Sunset


This is a picture of a sunset after some precipitation in Lake Forest, California. The ominous dark colors at the very top give an unknown kind of feeling. The clouds were blanketed above with the perception of a very low ceiling being felt. The sunset illuminates the softer texture of the clouds with a gentle glow. The silhouette of the trees give an interesting contrast to the glow of the clouds and the pale blue sky turning into an amber right at the treeline. The dark cloud jutting out from the left is a repetitive reminder of the foreboding upper dark cloud. There is so much happening in this picture. The different aspects of contrasting textures, colors and light defining shapes are abundant and they contribute to an array of feelings determined on which aspect is focused upon.
