This is a most beautiful play of light against dark
and dark against light. Just the perfect image to
well illustrate something that Edward Weston once
said:
"There is no time of the day (or year) when sunlight
is better, photographically speaking, than another.
It may be better for a certain subject, that is all.
The light of high noon is just as important as
morning or evening light, almost every 'authority'
to the contrary notwithstanding."
