It is only through comparison can one truly see how minuscule we on the earth, or in the case of this photo… the sky. This jet looks looked a speck when compared to the clouds it is flying through. The color that day was unbelievable. This burst of brillance diminished less than a minute later, so timing is everything.
After a photography gig in a downtown Atlanta hotel, I was able to capture a few frames of an amazing sunset. The photo does not do justice to what my own eyes saw. I do not think I have the skill to reproduce the amazing colors and the small moving parts that quickly changed before my eyes. Within a minute or two, the magic was gone and so was I.
Today we woke to drizzly rain that turned into wet snow and then big fluffy flakes the size of down feathers. It was beautiful to see. I did not have my camera with me at the time, but I was later able to capture my house covered in snow and the spectacular sunset.
