This was produced from my short-term memory and a quick sketch, after being on the beach near home, at sunset.

The shadows were from my wife and I, in red weakening sunlight, just before sunset. The spectacle felt very special, just for us. Actually, what I didn’t include in the drawing but were quite humorous to look at live were the shadows of our walking feet. It looked like we were wearing funky platform shoes with their vertical movements somewhat exaggerated.
