Fading light, returning life

Under a salmon-coloured sky

The light in this image took around 8 minutes and 20 seconds to cover the 150 million-ish kilometres between the Sun and our planet.

It then dove through our atmosphere, and thanks to some dramatic clouds and the low angle of the late evening, was transformed into all sorts of shades of pink, salmon, and purple.

Finally, it hit the tree branches we see here, and photon by photon drove the photosynthetic process that began to awaken the tiny buds from their winter slumber.

Life plays out all around us. All we have to do is look, perhaps with a bit of childlike wonder thrown in for good measure.
