Week 1: Sunset

Like some other people have already pointed out, I realize that a sunset photo seems a little cliche, however, after I took this picture, I was truly inspired by how warm the surrounding light around me was, and I found myself just sitting and watching the sun fade behind the mountains. My family owns a house right on the Lake at Tahoe, which is where this picture was taken, and I have seen many spectacular sunsets while vacationing there, however, there is something about this particular picture that inspires me because of the lack of warmth that I feel when looking at this picture. In the moment I felt a rush of happiness, however, when I look at this picture now, the colors seem cold, and the water looks dark and violent. Like we talked about in class, I think that my brain edited how I perceives the sunset because of my mood when it was actually taking place.
