An interesting thing that occurs with lighting in photos is that it can pick up on different colors of the light. Although this alleyway in Asila, Morocco was not lit so intensely yellow, it appeared to be that way. The hanging lanterns down the alley create a mysterious appeal. As the path curves, one can only wonder what is beyond. At night, these negative spaces are just as intriguing as the positive spaces beyond.

As the sun sets, the sky illuminates with soft colors. It brings a sense of calmness as we start to wind down the day and transition to our time of rest. The reflection of the sun on the water strengthens the feeling of light and the objects in the foreground become  silhouetted making the scene dynamic. Something that is so interesting to me about the light when the sun sets is how quick it happens. I walked across this bridge in Rome and just happened to turn around and for just a few moments the sun created this beautiful view. The colors in nature heighten and become intensified at this point in time, and create some of the most gorgeous hues and values.
