Bangued Sunset Photo

Photographer’s Note

The layers of shadow mountains is admittedly overdone -- every office in America seems to have a painting or a photo that is similar. What I thought was different was the foreground. Here the city of Bangued, as viewed toward the southwest from the Oval Era Hotel, takes on a Mediterranean aire with the hollowblock structure looking almost like a series of white columns. The green and white of the hills an buildings seemed to me to contrast nicely with the more single colored rows of mountains in the background.

Hi,
Well, I thought the opposite of what you did: I found the buildings took away from the beauty of the layers of the undulating mountains in different shades. I always like that effect even though it can be over-used as you say.
To each his/her own!
All the best,
John

I love the different grades of each layer of mountain :) It reminds me of those wonderful watercolor landscape paintings.

Well, even if American offices are in for cliches, I still love this picture, I love the layers of grey fading towards the back and the contrasting sky.
Wish I had the subject around here.
Best regards, Janos
