"There are no rules of architecture for a castle in the clouds." ~G.K. Chesterton

I can't get enough of this phenomenal September light; that blissful, golden sunlight that I wish I could somehow capture inside of a bottle forever. It makes everything look so much more beautiful than it already is. And lately, it's been even more amazing than usual.

At dusk, the sky was swirling with feathery white clouds that spread out toward the setting sun on the horizon. A brisk, salty wind was blowing in off the bay. The light brought out the faintest details of everything it touched and I felt even more alive in those moments than I had in a while. Whenever I see beauty like that, it almost feels as if I'm opening my eyes for the very first time. Unfortunately though, I'm much better at photographing those moments than I am at describing them, but...I try.

so I did.
