The setting sun glows massive and orange, perfectly framed behind a bus crossing the bridge, with diagonal cables of the Vanšu tilts cutting across the upper frame against a deep red sky.

Today is the longest day of the year, meaning it takes even more patience to watch the beautiful colors and shadows of the sunset.

Sometimes, while observing a scene, a new element suddenly appears and intensifies it.

As I walk along a bridge, trying to center the setting sun, a bus suddenly crosses the frame at just the right moment, illuminated by the last light of the day
