Fading into a distant memory
Mono Lake on Christmas Eve
The remaining light in the sky was fading fast. Even after I switched the 10-stop ND filter to 3-stop, it took 45 seconds to take the shot that I liked in terms of exposure.
Once the subtle pink of the Earth’s Shadow was completely gone, the world turned blue. And I thought that the saturation would fade soon, and it would leave the world with nothing but grey and black.
I don’t know why but the blue reminded me of 37° 2 le main (37.2°C in the morning), aka Betty Blue. Quite melancholic about the past.
The evening of solitude allowed me to look back at another year fading into a distant memory.
