It is hard to decide which white point to balance to in total darkness. This is one the challenges I face everyday. It is very subjective. In rendering these I usually try to develop the mood which I seek. Having a POV matters. And yellow/magenta seems to work well for this foggy night.
# SML Translate
+ 紅: red. Describes the color.
+ 夢: dream, dreaming. Metaphor for foggy view.
+ 尋: to seek and to find. Metaphor for finding oneself.
The reference to the Chinese classical literature titled 紅樓夢 [1] Dream of the Red Chamber [2] is intentional. The Chinese character 樓 means building / chamber, and is depicted as architecture seen here in the foreground (科學園Science Park [4]) and the Tai Po district in the far back.
