Week 9: Missing longer nights

The changing of seasons always make me miss the days when the sunsets can be clearly seen through a cloudless sky. As I thought about how gloomy and grey it's been getting, I thought back to a calm, warmer night by the beach a couple weeks ago. I captured this photo when my family and I were surrounding a fire by the water. In comparison to a day like today, there is so much more vibrance and color in the sky and reflected on the water. The blues, ambers, and purples remind me of this relaxed feeling of ease. The ambers in the sky are concentrated at the horizon, while the softness in the sky grows darker, creating a feeling of winding down. The streaks of amber reflected across the water make me think of gentle brushstrokes creating a smooth pathway to serenity.
