Light Observation 1

For my first light observation, I looked at the sunset over the Wilmington skyline. For some reason, the sunset over Wilmington always has so many vibrant colors and beautiful gradients. The sunset seems to start early around 5 o'clock when the sun starts casting a warmer orange color across the sky. Throughout the duration of the sunset, the colors in the sky change to be dark orange, yellow, red, purple, and blue, until the sun completely sets. Since the sunset lasts so long, you can see all of the different colors throughout the duration of the sunset. Although it looks beautiful, the sunset reminds you that there is a lot of pollution in the sky. A haze can normally be seen across the bottom of the horizon, and although minimal, is still a significant amount of pollution. Despite the pollution aching the sky, the sunset still remains a gorgeous sight to see.
