My intention was to create a piece that explored the concept of Creation by focusing on the beauty and the complexity of a sunset. My inspiration came from my belief in Creation and the beauty of the natural landscape around my home town. It took many months of watching for th right sunset and many hundreds of photos to find the ones represented in my folio. Behind the beauty is the issue of drought. The water level in the Boort Lake, where these photos were taken, was dropping significantly. These photographs were taken with a digital camera, using a traditional method, and were not edited in any way.
