Cotton‑Candy Sunset Over the Pier
Fairhope, AL
I was out on the eastern shore of the bay with my wife recently, wandering through a sunflower field and taking photos. After we left, I found a small nearby park and we settled in to watch the day wind down together. We couldn’t see the sun itself from where we were, but the sky still put on a show. Once it slipped below the horizon, the clouds over the bay bloomed with pink and magenta, lighting up the whole view in soft evening color. The moon in the top left corner added a nice touch to the composition.
