Week 2 Cotton Candy

I walked outside to get a load of laundry at my aunts house, which is a few blocks away from the beach. As soon as I stepped outside, I knew I had to drive down the street to catch a glimpse of the cotton candy sunset. I captured this picture with the intention of grabbing a snippet of this soft, fluffy glow. The photo doesn't do justice to the actual colors of the clouds. The textures and colors could only exist through a living perception of the sunset. The sun had already drifted out of sight, yet the rays of light pierced the clouds to create a soft glow of pink and purple. The clouds looked like cotton pulled and stretched across the sky. The edge of the sky was cut in half by the blue water. As I looked at the sky, I inhaled deeply and wondered about how this image seemed so other worldly, as if no one would ever know the life of the clouds. It brought an overwhelming sense of wonder, joy, and comfort all at once.
