Soft twilight over calm sea and distant island

The wide sea lies beneath a soft twlight sky in this photo. A tiny dark island lies at rest in the center of the still water. The light from that dying star traces a thin pink line against the far horizon. Above, heavy, soaring clouds drift slowly over the ocean. The sea turns from a rich cobalt blue to silver as it approaches the land in the distance. The outline of the island is defined against the faint light and its shape draws the eye to the void around it. The horizon line, which extends across the frame, reveals faint mountains that meet the ocean. The soft air, and the calm water induce a mild atmosphere that seems effortless and expansive. The colors are cool, but warm light still persists in the horizon. The still sea and drifting clouds make a harmonious composition that evoke the tranquility of a closing day.
