Evening light, Cuenca, Ecuador, 2001

We only had a handful of days with lovely evening light in Cuenca. I make the most of it here, as the gilded luminance of the setting sun defines the elegant 19th century stonework on one of the several fountains in its central square. The play of light and shadow on the structure of the fountain is intensified by the curtain of water droplets stopped in full flight by my fast shutter speed of 1/320th of a second. It is also repeated by a softly focused shaft of evening light illuminating the decorative column on the building in the background.

I waited many days for this light, Iris. Weather in the Andes usually precludes sunsets here.

Wonderful abstract of light and water.
