Oh, look, Gilly posted another sunset. Absolutely zero percent of the readers are surprised.
This was taken last week, and I got several interesting shots on different days as I was leaving campus (or simply moving to another section of it for the evening). What with it being the holidays I wanted to look at sunset in a different way (and actually, one that links back to my first post here. Which was also a sunset). But in a way this feels full circle.
Looking at this in terms of texture is interesting, because of the way that the clouds seem almost to smudge rather than reflect. Capturing that in a painting would be a very different technique from the creation of the shade itself, and that makes me think of other things where the technical process of creating it differs wildly from what one might expect. (Or, conversely, that you might imagine could be made through a trick of the light but cannot - like haze, etc).
