Sunset over SingaporeHere we have a deep-red hued sunset over the city-state of Singapore. It was taken from the Sky Gardens at the Marina Bay Sands Hotel.I can’t figure out how I feel about this photo. I can come up with every argument in the world for why it should bother me. The buildings and cranes in the foreground could easily be described as scars on the landscape. The redness of the sunset could easily be attributed to pollution in the air.Yet, this image is delighting my eyes. The sun is surrounded by a gorgeous halo of red as it dips behind the clouds. Light from the sun is bouncing off everything in the atmosphere to reach the camera and eventually my eyes. Every time I change the angle I look at my screen, I see something different. The hills and buildings and cranes, bathed in the red light, take on a different feel from just a normal city.Urban landscapes are never an easy scene to describe…but this photo in particular has a quality I struggle to put into words. Beauty and harshness put together in one scene.-JBBImage credit: NEO (creative commons license)http://www.flickr.com/photos/w3i_yu/4852626590 -- source link
