Sunset.

The golden hour.

The time of day with a symphony of colors.

 

Of clouds trimmed with gold

Of silhouettes of birds dark in the sky

Of nothing but the hustle and bustle of people after a day of work.

 

The sky was a blank canvas.

And the sun?

The paintbrush with smooth strokes.

 

The light reflecting.

The beauty blinding.

The silence ringing.

The author's comments:

I stood on my balcony (almost) every afternoon in the hour of sunset. Everything happened so fast, and I would just sit down with my camera, watching the colors change and, eventually, disappear into the endless dark.
