Heavenly Light

The past week in Carmel, California had been going back and forth from cloudy to sunny. This photograph portrays the constant weather change as heavy clouds that look like they could cause rain are penetrated by several bursts of peach colored light. Everything was dark in contrast to the unearthly lights, and anything hit by them, even the clouds, gave off a pink hue.
