End of a Day at Kas
About This PhotoThe Story Behind
I captured this enchanting scene at the end of a tranquil day at Kas, a beautiful coastal town in Turkey. The sun had just set, leaving a breathtaking palette of orange and blue hues stretching across the sky and reflecting off the calm waters of the Mediterranean Sea. The gentle curves of the shoreline create a harmonious balance with the hilly landscape, highlighted by the soft glow of scattered streetlights. The distant horizon fades into a deep indigo, inviting the night to take over. I love how the warm colors blend seamlessly into cooler shades, creating a mesmerizing gradient that is both calming and invigorating. This photo was taken from a high vantage point which provided a perfect panoramic view of the coast. The gentle curves of the bay lead the eye naturally from the illuminated village below to the tranquil sea stretching into the distance, while the silhouette of the hills adds depth to the composition. There’s something timeless about this scene, where the gentle transition of colors and the shimmering waters seem to freeze time, offering a rare moment of serenity. Kas is known for its historical significance and stunning beauty, making it a perfect subject to capture the essence of tranquility at dusk.
