Day 5: Sunset's Architecture


"All architecture is great architecture after sunset; perhaps architecture is really a nocturnal art, like the art of fireworks." ~ G.K. Chesterton

This evening the sun set a fiery orange. I've always been partial to sunrises and sunsets and tonight's was no different. I'm often driving when the sun crosses the horizon, which makes it difficult to get a good photo.

I snapped this photo as I was stopped at a light (yes, that light is actually red) tonight. The brilliant sunset makes for a great backlit silhouette, but a difficult to read road sign (Route 66). I think the sunset itself makes all architecture great - even an unattractive street lamp.
