Scraps

On October 20th, I drove home staring at the sky. I could see the clouds culminating overhead, and recognized the trademark pre-show in the heavens that usually accompanies Southern California the sunset after a heavy rain. They were clearing, sparking with oranges and yellows as the sun began to dip into the horizon. I raced to get home as to not miss the main attraction. A five minute window of opportunity where the sun hits a particular angle, and the sky explodes into a dazzling aurora of mesmorizing pinks against heavy blues.

I darted out back, and started to take snapshot after snapshot. There's a small golf course behind my house, making for great clearance and a crisp environment. The rolling green hills would only promote a surreal aspect to it, almost out-worldly, and I had my route planned out as I burst out the back door. I briskly walked to my first vantage point, readied my camera, and waited for the skies to turn. I didn't need to wait long. After several shots, warming up my hand, the sky had dipped to a quick dim, before illuminating once again with the most flush display of color I have seen in months! My instincts were correct, as I found myself in a photographer's dreamscape with a veil of pink unfurled over the expansive rolling landscape.

Thus, I present this experience to you.

Oooh, gorgeous. I really like the contrast of light background, and dark foreground in this one.

If that has any neurotoxin in it, I'm throwing the lemon.

Ask any artist about “emptiness&#x 201D; and they’ll tell you about the constant recurring nightmarish emptiness they must face down almost every day as a part of their vocation: the blank space that they must fill. Whether he’s a painter facing a blank canvas or she’s...
