A pastel colored sky above a narrow slice of the bay, framed by the leaves thick trees poking in from all sides. Light light blue water turns into darker blue hills, with fog of a similar shade hiding behind them. A lonely little cloud sits above them, camouflaged into the briefly-purple sky that journeys through rosey pink, orange, and eventually yellow as it gets further from the horizon and towards the rows of clouds above. Off in the corner, an empty container ship drifts idly by.

A hiker reaches up to catch the light. They're wearing a hoodie with the hood up, and the sunlight hits only the fingers on their raised hand. A large tree in the background similarly bends towards the light, its branches lit from below -- it won't be long before the sun sets. Much of the trail is now in shade, but the dead grass and shrubs nearby still have a bit of warm glow.

Catching the Light

Some kind of a communications tower emerging from the trees on a hill, as the sun paints an array of oranges and yellows across the sky behind it. A distant hill is visible only as a blood-orange shadow of the setting sun. Earlier in the day, it might've been possible to see the ocean in the background, but now it looks like just an unusually well-defined cloud layer. Higher up in the sky, it seems the last remains of a blue sky are trying to peek out, but they're thoroughly drowned by the omnipresent shades of sunset.

Tower Above a Sunset Sea

Picture through some trees, backlit by a setting sun. Much of the image stands out in sharp relief against the bright white background, but still maintains a kind of ethereal quality - whether it's: the glowing bundles of pine needles at the corners of interesecting branches; the smooth bubbly shape of branches just a bit further back, reaching out for the last few minutes of evening light; or the dusty gold light peeking through the bottom where a hill has, for now, left some shadow intact.
