More from the Observatory - Week 6

These are two pictures I took while at the Griffith Observatory last weekend with my husband. This dead tree was at the edge of a cliff and looked as if someone could just kick it over at any moment. I noticed in both pictures that the sun is obviously a yellow color but some of the rays shooting outward from it have tints of blue to them. Some of the rays are simply a pale yellow. I love how you can see the rays so clearly, too. They are all different in length, intensity and vary back and forth from the pale yellow to pale blue color. When I look at these pictures, I feel the warmth of the sun again. I remember how hot that day was and being so high up on the mountain made it more so. Sun also makes the space feel open and vast, like there's no end to where the sun touches. I feel happy and content on days like this.
