March 2nd, 2011 - by SIGHT EFFECTS

Yes!. This is great. Whenever I am on the plane sunset time, I always ask myself when can I have a record of this multichromic layers of the atmospere? The linear arrangement and strentgh of hues, tones and glow of illumination are released from a nowhere matrix.

I love this image … that dividing line in between the paralled darkness sharpens the mind..
