Week One - Stanford Sunset

On my way out of my new apartment this week, my roommate told me to look at the sky, so I did. I know sunset/cloud cover is a little cliched, but it still catches you by surprise when you notice it. This image isn't as detailed as I would like it to be, but what struck my sight was firstly, the bright pink color of the sky. It was so bright that it shined (shone?) through the edge of clouds. However, the color also wrapped around the clouds, which I thought was very cool. I also noticed how pinks and purples can be cool or warm, depending on their surrounding colors.
This entry sounds very factual and informative, and a bit boring, I know. But it's not every day you see something like this. Actually, it does happen every day, but most of us are too busy to take the time to notice it, or we are otherwise occupied. These kinds of things inspire me to seek out the strange colors of our natural world, because they are out there, somewhere.
