Ordinary Sunset


I was going to Target last week, when I looked up and saw this sunset from the parking lot. It was beautiful, so I took a photo from my car window. I’ve always loved the way that palm trees look silhouetted at dusk. It makes you realize what a dramatic shape they have. But more than that, I was struck by how everyone was just continuing to go about their business in the shopping center without noticing it, just as I had been. It’s something that we’re so used to. Like Stacey said below, the light is different wherever you are, and it’s amazing that this really is just a normal So Cal Sunset. I studied abroad this summer and I definitely noticed the different clouds there, and the way the light played off of them.
