One evening this week I was taken aback by the beautiful light and color I saw in the sky. After running an errand to the grocery store, on what had been an unremarkable, cloudy sort of day, I saw the trees across the street from the store lit up by a gorgeous light, but the light was almost “cut off” at the top if you can imagine what I mean. Looking toward the west, a dark cloud cut a horizontal line across the sky, but the great, golden orb of the sun was sinking just below that line. I admired the amazing, golden color before me as I drove home from the market and hoped there would still be some nice color for me to photograph when I got home.
When I got home, color had changed but it was still beautiful. Surrounded as I am by the things of suburbia, I have no clear view of sunset and the horizon, but I was able to capture these shots. I haven’t adjusted anything in Photoshop; these are SOOC using my 50mm 1.8 lens.
I’ve never been a big fan of November: no leaves, no flowers, No-vember; however, this colorful sky was a lovely exception to a normally colorless month!
