The picture above was taken in the early evening of 09/11/2011. All day, the TV broadcast a variety of commemorative programs remembering the tragedy, 10 years ago. Interleaved with the commemorations were alerts that another attack could be imminent. Overlay the abstraction that 9/11 has become with the reality of my wife’s prolonged illness and the day was rich with emotion.
I went into the backyard to savor the waning light. I portrayed the dimming light with a series of photos, starting with the warm late afternoon sun and ending with deep blue evening shadows. My favorites are the Late Summer Dragonflies, Honey Bee and Hosta, and this one.
These images are available through my store.
