As the sun sets, the sky fills with rich golds. The city is silhouetted against this vibrant scene, with its geometric forms full of edge. In the water, the sunset is replicated, disturbed only by the gently rippling amber and rusty waves.
At this moment in time, everything seems to be at rest. The air is warm with the scent of the evening as the sound of rippling waves gently hums. The tall buildings and skyscrapers are each like a stand guard or soldier, silently witnessing the transition from day to night, masking their forms in the sunset.
The sun appears as a burning mass cradling the skyline, almost a tether between day and night. The render reflects the storytelling quality at the center of the urban environment’s essence; the more humanistic and resourceful side of the topography here is human ingenuity juxtaposed against nature’s grandeur. The silhouettes reveal human ambition/declaration and capital aspirations alive from this moment, shared through sound, light, and emotion.
As the sun quickly recedes every minute, the warmth of the sunlight brings a pending joy or hope or possibility manifested through its decline. These colors bring hope for the next, always inspiring us back toward wonder and discovery in the fading of day. This city, our cities, bring hope as it were for human wellbeing in a hubbub of modern life, if only you were to pause and recognize you were in it.
