YELLOW
This drone image was taken at sunset, over the Slat Flats in Menlo Park. It is part of a larger abstract series of arial images taken of the Bay Area Salt Flats over the last 2 years.
I was especially drawn to the texture, colors, and flow. I am inspired by the mystery of the image-- it isn't immediately clear to the viewer if the image is a macro taken up close or from very far.
My inspiration in this image is the summer sunset, and I like how the image could also be a representation of snow capped mountains, and a yellow sky. I feel a nice sense of calm when I look at the image, and the curved shapes, and I hope the viewer does as well.
