gold

June 27, 2012 By Andrea Corrona Jenkins

Magic hour. That magic first and last hour of sunlight of the day, that moment the light turns gold, bathes everything and everyone in sweet, liquid gold. The best kind of gold, the only kind I’m really interested in these days. Dangle a gold chain in front of me and I might yawn but mention the words ‘golden hour’ and I’ll sing you a song.
 

So, go ahead. Show us your gold today. Show us your magic golden hours, your golden light. Or your plain old gold anything. Tag it #sscolormonth, share it here in the comments and in over in our OWP flickr pool.

*the above image was taken with a polaroid sx-70 camera and expired polaroid instant film.

    My golden light photo…part natural, part processing…

    Your vintage-style photo takes me back to my kids' childhoods and to my own
    to those cool evenings when we tried to stay outside as the sun sets…
    as the tiredness was overtaking.

    I love the gold in the tips of the dragonfly's wings.

    Oh, I am with you on that! (Golden hour vs. gold.) My husband almost sighs during the golden hour, knowing he is going to be left to wait.

    My sweetie and me went for a late afternoon walk in the redwoods – too dark to capture anything interesting. As we were walking back through a meadow, we saw the Roosevelt Elk had brought their new calves out of the forest. Only 2 weeks old, and these golden guys ruled the meadow and a major 'awww…' factor.
