Sunset over Namaqualand - An interplay between yin and yang

Autumn sunset over Concordia in Namaqualand, South Africa. The image shows the golden glow of the sun as it prepares to dip below the horizon. The rock formations in the foreground are in veiled silhouette. A sunburst on the image creates an interesting effect. The focus is on the distant horizon showing the valleys in the background. The interplay between light and darkness give the illusion of yin and yang.
