That's how it feels, that feeling the photo gives off - at least to me it does.
A feeling you get when sitting somewhere x meters above the sea-level with your back turned to the city. Sitting and watching the sun go down kissing the horizon; embraced by it and drowning in its comfort.
It's beautiful, that scene - no matter how many times it repeats itself, there's just something about the way the sky fills up with a spectra of dreamy colours that mesmerises and captivates you, every time.
The final scene, the grand finale - seemingly.
The secret to beautiful and
unique sunset-coloured photos is not to fill up your memory card or film with pictures when the sun's still dozing off above the horizon. No - hold your ground for a while longer after the sun's disappeared, and you will be rewarded with
the afterglow, the sun's own way of giving a sign of life assuring you that it's not gone for good - by filling up the surface of the clouds above you and everything underneath with a faint although distinctive light, creating a mesmerising painting... And with the sun gone out of your focus, you turn instead to all the things illuminated by the colours around you: the clouds, the scenery, the seascape or maybe even the cityscape.
You start to notice everything, everything that you're otherwise used to.
Minutes later, you feel at peace.
Whoops, sorry, got carried away.
But this is relevant to the pottery blog, yes?
I might not be any authority around here, and I know time's are tough (for us IB2:ers) but how 'bout a sunset-theme? Are you able to overcome the limitations of words to describe the visually stunning moment of a sunset?
Or maybe you'll even go for another medium of expression?
So, pottery blog, how about it? :D
