I spent a good part of my week on the look out for good blog pics. But when I saw this, I just knew this was my picture for my blog this week. I walked past this house before the sun went down and noticed the clock and thought how cool it was that they had a huge clock outside their house; little did I know this clock lit up!
As I walked past this house again when the sun was just about to leave our sky, I saw the clock lit up in all it's glory. This particular picture captures a moment in time that is probably one of my favorites. I LOVE the twilight hour-when everything looks blue. And because of this lit up clock, I know what time I took this picture. I like the connection between time and the sun- I mean, after all, that is how we tell time. Before clocks and watches, there were sun dials. But this photo gives me a reference I can use- I can already picture a cyc like this that I can use for a production set in the fall. The colors in the sky are so strongly contrasted, and I love it. From this dark, night time blue to this bright almost whitish blue. Not to mention, the silhouettes are beautiful. Overall, this photo was very inspiring to me, not only because of the pretty colors, but also because it reminds me that while the sun serves as a light source, it also gives us a sense of time, and each time looks different. Oh, and one more thing-- this photo also gives me a very "time is running out, Cinderella" kind of feel. So I liked that too. :)

Nice post - also a lot of foreground and background - warm foreground of clock and cool background of cyc is very appealing to the eye :)
