Reflection of Sunset

I got caught up with many events today, and left my camera at home! Here’s a photo I took a couple of days ago at sunset in Calvary cometary.

As I was driving around, I was struck by the reflection of the sunset on many of the polished headstones. A reinforcement of the end of life, with the sun at the end of the day. I stopped and snapped a couple of photos, trying to get the dimension of the tree shadows within the refection. This one turned out the best.

I’d rather not have to do post processing on pictures. If they could just look this good out of the camera, I’d be so more happy. Works of art are made with tools such as Photoshop. I’m beginning the long learning curve of how to wield the tools and palettes which are in Photoshop and the other tools I have. Rome wasn’t built in a day, the saying goes. My skills are greater today than yesterday, and will be better after my next session of post processing.

Time swiftly flows in, around and through me. I love having the time to learn. I’m glad that I’m pushing myself to grow my talents.

I’m grateful to have time to reflect.
