Week Five - The Intensity of a Sunset

     I was on my way to Target the other night, when I stepped out my front door and saw that the sun was setting. I ran inside, grabbed my camera, and took this picture. My favorite thing about it is that you can almost see the many colors in the light that the sun is giving off. The blue sky is fading into grey, and the clouds are highlighted as they reflect the sunlight. Because the palm trees and everything else in the picture is backlit, they are in silhouette. This is a warm, peaceful image to me. I find it relaxing to look at. I can almost feel the last rays of the sun hit me before it slips away behind the horizon. Although it is surrounded by the cool color of the grey sky, the intensity of the sunlight seems to be what gives the photo its warm feeling.
