I had just come home from work and was about to enter the house when I looked to the west just beyond the chicken coop - still a dilapidated ruin back then - and noticed the warm light of a sunken sunset as it painted captivating mauve and pink hues onto the clouds. The scene, or more specifically, the quality of light, reminded me of a Mednyánszky painting, so I dug into my backpack, withdrew my iPad, and took a snapshot.
It's amazing what a little light and color can do. It really is.
