Skywatch Friday: Daylight Insists

surfcitygoodnight

This boat moored at the public docks at Surf City seemed ready to go even at the end of the day. The glint of sunlight in the windshield made me feel the heat of midday even at dusk. These optical illusions ask more questions than they answer, but they remind me every moment is, well, every moment.

  6. The light is lovely, just enough to leave a shadow that begs one to reflect on the day just ending. Nice one, Sandy!

  10. Beautiful words and the image speaks volumes. I agree with you, the privilege of a camera lens is the ability to capture *every moment*. The privilege of our eyes is to make the choice to do so.

    I love the light and shadow play and the point of interest in the background in the form of the water tower.
