Silhouette Against An Artsy Sky

Do you ever look up and the sky looks like one vast, endless canvass covered in the most amazing art? For me, that’s like an everyday, phenomenon. Everyday, the sky looks like a new painting; some more beautiful and causing deeper feelings than others previous or subsequent. Today’s sky was a bright blue, white and grey masterpiece, a sight to be savored; to be captured for future enjoyment, the silhouette of the building and tree only adding to the elements that made this artwork all the more beautiful. And capture it, I did. In my own small manner, I captured the beautiful vastness of an artsy sky over Lagos.

Bathed In Color, Silhouetted In Shadows

I love when nature just shows how colorful it can be. Especially at evening time when shadows lengthen and everything starts to take on the color of the night. I think it’s even when the colors of the sky become more vivid and the shadows it casts on everything below paints a picture of balanced perfection.

Here’s the original

Twilight Fades To Night

A lot of times, night seems to just pounce like a cat on a ball of string. Sometimes it feels like I just blink and voila! It’s night already. But then there are times it seems to creep in slowly, gradually. Those times you get see day and night in the sky at the same time. You see the moon in the sky just as the sun is sinking in the horizon with a brilliant yellow, orange and red glow, casting shadows and creating silhouettes of everything around. I wish this happened a bit more frequently because it is well, and truly, beautiful.

Shadow In The Sand

Streetlights cast some of the best shadows. Each time I walk home, I play a little game with my shadow (I know, I really shouldn’t be doing that at my age, but it’s fun!). I watch my shadows lengthen as I walk further away from a street light and watch it fade as I walk closer to one and I try to figure out at what point the shadow is longest and sharpest and what patterns I can make out in my shadow. This picture was one of such points. It’s a fun game. You should try it sometime. :mrgreen::mrgreen:

Twilights And Silhouettes

Evening photography is always amazing. Especially when the sky gives a mix of such colors that makes it appear like you’re looking up at one large painting. Then the silhouettes below give the kind of contrast that makes it all look one thing alone: beautiful.

Picture: A Lagos Sunset

There’s something about the setting sun that just gets to me. Maybe it’s the shadows it casts or the sign that another day is done. Either way, the sun going to bed is always awesome to capture. It’s no different in Lagos.
