After two black and white photos in a row, I feel a need to post a colorful image. In fact, color is the dominant feature in this image. I love the deep red in the clouds on the horizon contrasting against the deep blues in the sky above and water in the foreground. The photo was actually taken after sunset, during the period known as “civil twilight,” which is the period just after the sun has set (or just before the sun rises). In fact, many of my favorite photos were taken during civil twilight.
If you’d like to see this and many other of my photos in person, be sure to stop by the Pekin, Illinois public library. Around 20 of my photos are on display in the entryway during the month of October.
