Between Day and Night

This photo captures a fleeting moment during a brilliant sunset. In this instant between day and night, the sky is many shades of color ranging from the dark blue and gray of the clouds to the bright orange, yellow and pink from the last rays of sunlight. These colors are reflected by the wet sand; the thin layer of water along the sand creates a mirror-like appearance, extending the colors throughout the entirety of the landscape. The two swimmers on the right of the image give a sense of perspective – they are two small dots against the backdrop of the ocean.
