Again about the infinite sun. Yes, I was wrong, it's not infinite, in I don't know how many billions of years it will go out or explode ... but for me, not to involve those who have a different opinion, my infinity begins with death (mine). From this point of view, the sun is infinite. A habit acquired in the years spent in this blockchain is to try to write something about the sun, but not only to write how, more importantly, but also to put some images, static or moving, with the sun. This habit did not come out of the blue, it was inoculated by @uwelang who imagined this #SunThursday.
The sun that ensures our life on earth also has a bad habit, it doesn't really allow us to photograph it. It burns everything that is too insistent.
Because of this, the best times when it can be photographed are when the sun is not too careful, that is, in the morning, when it is still not well awake, or in the evening when it goes to bed, tired of so much work to send heat and light to us. Those who, for various reasons, the best reason is that they really live in places with great openness, such as the shore of the sea or the ocean, have the best chances to catch the sun in the most beautiful poses.
The others, generally the inhabitants of the cities, do not have this chance, the sun hides behind blocks, bridges, trees, and other objects and it is very difficult to get a decent image.
I tried to watch the sun in the city, in a large park, at sunset, when it is less vigilant.
The sun hides behind the trees, however, there are not many trees, there are also alleys and enough space to take some pictures.
The sun cannot always be photographed directly but its presence in images is proven by the existence of shadows. There is no shadow without the sun!
The park where I looked for the sun is called Herastrau and it is located in the greenest and most select part of Bucharest. The end of the walk takes us to a famous square, the Arc de Triomphe Square. Here is a smaller replica of the Arc de Triomphe in Paris. Built in the first part of the last century.
We are almost at dusk, the sun can no longer be seen because of the buildings. However, its rays illuminate the asphalt of the road. Another proof that it's sunny in these photos.
Maybe I should explain why this post. First of all for participating in the contest initiated by @uwelang. Then, because I don't have access now to places where I can photograph sunsets or sunrises, the most common and favorite photos when it comes to the sun, I have to choose another way to participate and to look around me for something that can fit into the theme.
