Thematic Photographic 267 - That golden glow

State of the art
High over western Canada
February 2013
Stand in the same place from pre-dawn to post-sunset and you'll have a front-row seat to every kind of light imaginable. But some kinds of light are better than others. Deal with it, hazy midday sun.

My favorite times of day occur when the sun is super-low in the sky. It bathes everything in a surreal glow that can turn even the most mundane scene into something special.

Golden hour light makes me feel pretty damn lucky to have witnessed it at all. Because you get it for all of a few fleeting moments before it's gone.

It's a nice metaphor for life, and one I churned repeatedly in my head as I watched the low-angled sun dance on the perfectly curved and sliced facets of the wing on our Boeing 737-700 (aka Next-Generation). There are days when inspiration can be found by simply looking out the window.

Your turn: Take a pic that captures some kind of glow (remember, it's a pretty liberal interpretation, so pretty much anything goes.) Post it to your blog or website, then leave a comment here letting everyone know where to find it. Visit other participants to share the photographic joy, and feel free to return through the week as more scenes capture your eye. Tweet using the #ThematicPhotographic hashtag, and drop by here if you'd like to learn more about how Thematic works. Enjoy...and thanks!
