Yesterday afternoon I spent a day at the beach in San Diego. The day was perfect, the sun was shining and I could feel its warmth on my skin. However, in a matter of about 30 seconds a thick mist crept in covering the sun, and replacing the one warm sky with a far cooler one. Instantly the mood of the beach changed-people started leaving, and suddenly the trip was less pleasant. Whereas just a few minutes before I needed sunglasses because the sun was too bright to look at, the mist displaced the sun's harsh rays and instead dispersed the light. I captured the photo right at this moment because I found it fascinating how the sun, such a prominent force, could so quickly become difficult to find. In just a few moments the beach went from a warm place, to a grey world. The water turned from a brilliant blue to a greyish white was, and the once sparkling sand dulled. I was surprised by how quickly the lighting could effect my day at the beach as well as my mood and the moods of those around me.
Nice post. I like the comments on how color shifted so drastically along with people's moods
