Indiana Kritikou, Smoke and the Sun (JUNIOR 2023)

Not long ago there was a large amount of thick smoke in my area. When the sun sunk behind the smoke during sunset it turned a neon pink. I ran inside, grabbed my camera, and went up the paddock to capture this incredible phenomenon. Although this image was taken once the sun sunk below the smoke and returned to it's usual vibrant yellow, the clouds and smoke were illuminated with the most stunning shades of pink and orange. For me, this photo symbolizes the beauty that can come with things we don't often consider to be something good.
