L'Air du Temps

Posted by
Suzanne (Huntington Bch, California, United States) on 13 January 2009 in Landscape & Rural and Portfolio.

It is light that reveals, light that obscures, light that communicates. It is light I "listen" to. The light late in the day has a distinct quality, as it fades toward the darkness of evening. After sunset there is a gentle leaving of the light, the air begins to still, and a quiet descends. I see magic in the quiet light of dusk...a sense of mystery. It is a time for contemplation, for listening...a time for making photographs. -- John Sexton

Beautiful piece, like the evening light falling the tree, nice mountains and clouds in the background.
