I love to photograph light….sunbeams, dawn, sunsets, moonlight, you name it. But I am especially drawn to scenes where there is a lot of contrast. I just love an image like this with the dark land before me, the grey clouds above, the grey sea below, and then, there on the horizon, at the far edge of the scene, is a display of sunbeams stretching down to the make the sea shine, and turn the grey clouds, blue.
Maybe it’s the yin and yang thing that attracts me. That’s been my favourite symbol for most of my life, and I have worn a rose gold/yellow gold version of it around my neck for decades. I love that statement of reality which isn’t just that there are always opposites, but that neither can exist without the other. I also love what that symbol says about the constancy of change.
Or maybe we are all drawn to images of sunlight on far horizons. Maybe they spark our imaginings and our longings for what might lie ahead, and give us hope as we journey towards it.
What do you think?
Are you also drawn to both the light….and the dark?

I think I am. I adore watching the sunrise and set and seeing what colors the sky will bestow on me. And then there are the shades of gray as the clouds play with the sun. Here we are either all gray or all sun and snow right now. You have the most beautiful contrasting landscapes. I sometimes will watch a large pond here and see how it changes in colors even when it is frozen.
