On sunset

It was an open-air session in Spain. Every evening, I went outdoors to capture the most beautiful moment—just as the sun’s last rays touched the landscape. A small hill near our house was covered in pines with an unusual red tint. One evening, I broke off a small branch and discovered that the needles were completely dry. Yet, in the sunset’s glow, these trees acquired an incredible, radiant hue, resembling flames. Even after drying, they continued to share their fragile, fading beauty with the world. It reminded me how essential it is to protect nature, whose life and splendor can so easily vanish.
