Sunset Photo
Theme: sunrise/sunset
Photo taken by me on Jan. 18th, 2023, 4:58pm.
I took this photo on Tel Aviv beach in Israel in January. I’m very fond of sunsets, and my dorm room at Hofstra – where I’ve lived since freshman year – has a west-facing window, so I’m lucky enough to get to see many sunsets behind the Manhattan skyline. Those are pretty, but the sunset on the beach in Tel Aviv was different from what I was accustomed to, which made it more special. I’ve always been intrigued by the quality of a sunset that is both orange and pink and when you say it’s one it seems to appear as the other. In this photo the gradient of the sky from a pale blue-gray to an orangey-yellow to that bright orangey-pink is stunning. The way the light makes the water shine in an almost metallic way, contrasted with the complete lack of reflection from the sandy beach, creates a beautiful image. It also brings back nice memories of my trip to Israel – I was with two close friends when I saw this sunset, and now it will always remind me of them.
