Week the First: Sunset in Kauai

This sunset was in Kauai, an island of Hawaii, late August.

I have always loved the sky when the sun is setting, but what I have noticed is that when there are clouds, the sky is exceedingly more beautiful with an array of colors. In this photo particularly, you see the beginning of warm orange tones that dissolve into green as it continues on to the part of the sky that's still blue. Warm and cool colors working together in nature.

Immediately your eyes want to go to the center of the picture where the sun is. But what is even more captivating are the clouds. How the sun rays reflect on and through them. The dark of the cloud suggests that the source (sun) is behind it. The brightest yellow on the cloud shows the source being under and shining through the less dense parts of the cloud.

How amazing it is to watch this work of art happen every evening. And every evening it is never the same show twice. I'm always filled with awe, and sometimes too much so, that I almost get into car accidents watching them. It is a vision that can make you forget what you're doing and drop your surroundings. Indeed, a vision if an accident were to happen, would be worth dying for.
