I blink my eyes and the moment is over
I guess another day has passed
—John Melloncamp, Just Another Day

For a few years, I was really into capturing the perfect sunset. Either because of pollution^† or something else, Japan seems to get much better, more beautiful sunsets than my hometown in Indiana. I was really drawn to them and would run all over the city every evening looking for the perfect sunset shot.

Here is one of the shots from those years. You can see I actually missed the best part of the sunset, but still, I like how the clouds are in this shot.

†: Many people (Japanese people included) have suggested this to me, so I suppose there must be something to it.
