WEEK 5: Sunset, Sunrise

On a late Wednesday afternoon on Balboa Island’s ferry, the sun began to set. I took out my camera and began to snap some pictures. What is powerful about this particular picture are the casts of shadows and light. The fire colored sky blends together in sequences of reds, oranges and yellows. The brightness of the light creates a sharp outline around the boat and trees. The position of the sun makes it difficult for the viewer to know whether or not it is sunrise or sunset. Colors of the sunset divide the picture into three distinct parts: the glowing sky, the deep shadows and the reflective waters. The warmth of the picture captivates the viewers eye and creates a wonderful fall memory for me.
