Last light, Sucre, Bolivia, 2014

I made this image from the same vantage point that I used for the opening photograph of this gallery. That image was made just after sunrise, under a blanket of broken clouds. This image, made from the same window with the same iPhone camera, was shot just after sunset. Its interpretive value comes from light and color. The aging roofs that made my sunrise image work so well are still there, but their rough textures are now abstracted by shadows. The “White City” becomes a city of red, gold, and brown. The setting sun colors the swirling clouds overhead yellow and pink. This image is the last Sucre photograph in this gallery. It provides a perfect bookend to the opening photograph.

Thanks, Celia. As someone once said, the "best camera in the world is the one you have with you." That pretty much sums up how I feel about my iPhone camera that is always on my belt. Actually this image was not the ending of this gallery. It does nicely sum up, however, my three week stay in Sucre itself.

Using an iPhone as a camera is challenging to say the least, but at least it is good at taking sunsets! Haha! This is gorgeous! What a beautiful and magical end to a magnificent gallery!
