April Lights




It was the end of Daylight Saving time today and as we walked our typical long Sunday walk to the city I noticed the difference in light quality. I am a bit of an Autumn fanatic, not only because of the trees changing colour but also because the sunlight softens and casts beautiful warm colours on everything it touches. It is the perfect time for photography without having to get up at ridiculous times in the morning to see something similar at any other time of the year.
As we approached the city it was very dark and it feels so weird, as it was only a week ago that the sun was still high up in the sky emitting hot rays. The city was much more desolated too despite being the first days of the school holidays.

Hoy termino el horario de verano y mientras hicimos nuestra tipica larga caminata a la ciudad note la diferencia en la calidad de la luz. Yo soy un poco fanatica del otono, no solo porque los arboles cambian de color y se caen las hojas, sino porque el sol se suaviza e ilumina de colores calidos todo lo que toca. Es la epoca perfecta para fotografia sin tener que levantarse a horas ridiculas de la manana para ver algo similar en cualquier otro momento del ano. Al acercarnos la la ciudad estaba re oscuro y era tan raro que solo una semana atras el sol todavia estaba alto en el cielo y calentaba un monton a la misma hora. La cuidad estaba mucho mas desolada a pesar de ser los primeros dias de las vacaciones escolares.
