Typically, illumination would mean some sort of artificial light — street lights, car lights, neon lights. But, since I’ve been at the beach this week, it is natural light that I have been drawn to. Here are two sunsets, both well-suited for this week’s Weekly Photo Challenge theme, Illumination.
This evening, as the sun was setting over a partly cloudy sky, some of the clouds were back-lit. Not only were the clouds illuminated, but the refracted light also illuminated chairs left on the beach by weary sunbathers who had already left the sand:
Early this week, on a similarly cloudy day, the rays of the sun for about an hour before sunset, streaked behind the clouds, sometimes sending rays towards the water; at other times skywards:
