Remains of the Day
Sunset at Cannon Beach, Oregon
Another day, another beach sunset. Well, technically the same sunset, since this photo was taken just 3 minutes after the bright orange of the previously posted “Intermezzo”. But the sky changed so dramatically in those few minutes that it almost felt like an entirely different sunset.
As the sun slipped behind the veil of distant fog, the intensity of the orange rapidly faded and the whole beach became awash in pastels. As I stood there watching, enveloped in the soft light, it felt like drifting into a dream.
I usually try to take photos without people in them, but it was difficult here since many others were out enjoying a gorgeous summer sunset. And as I looked through the photos later, I was drawn to this one and felt like the running child actually added something to the photo. Forever frozen in motion, that silhouette somehow for me captured the essence of the transience of beauty and the ephemerality of these moments.
