Sunset in Oosterheem: a photograph close to home

Interesting clouds sent me out on my bicycle to look for a sunset composition in Oosterheem. I found a bridge on the edge of the neighbourhood with a view across the water.

Without a tripod, I used the bridge to steady the camera. The sun’s reflection helped lead the eye into the scene.

It was a modest, unplanned outing, but I liked the balance of the composition. Sometimes a familiar place and a short window of good light are enough to make a photograph worth keeping.
