Surreal
ATTRIBUTES : This photo was taken by John D Sirlin.
THEME : Surreal
DESCRIPTION : I chose this photo because of the combination of colors. I feel like our usual expectation for a sunset sky is lots of warm tones, oranges and reds, but here the sunset sky is full of purples and blues which makes it feel more unsettling. The dust storm is also interesting because when I think of dust I often associate it with something small, and easily moved. However, this picture makes the dust seem large and powerful. This betrayal of expectations encapsulates the idea of the surreal for me.
