Pastels

Riding home after sunset the other day, I was struck by the delicate pastels in this scene. It is hard to avoid photographing a brilliant orange or red sunset, I must admit, but there is a subtlety to the colors in this scene that seem to have more significance for me. I think it is more difficult to find subtlety - the tendency is for more brash and brilliant colors. I have taken that route myself, but as I get older I think I am attracted more to look for the subtle in life.
