Light in the pool 2:30 pm

I sat under an umbrella and noticed the way the sun light was spreading across the pool area. On the water, the light made it possible to see that the water was moving due to the jets. Without the light, I may have never known that the water was in motion. the light formed figure 8 type designs on the surface and some light poured in deep to illuminate the bottom.

One of my favorite things about the sun on in late afternoon is the long, unidirectional shadows it casts. shadows of the palm trees, fence, umbrella, and chairs were being cast onto the ground. another thing that happens in late afternoon is that objects have a light and shadowed side. the part not in direct path has a much darker, less colorful look. As I looked at the fence pillars, I could see the definite line where the sun could not reach and the objects took on darker colors.

The umbrella I was under filtered/diffused the light so that there was a shadow but not as harsh a shadow as opaque objects.

Metallic or hard plastic had lines of reflections. On round objects, the very point of the curve where light reflects back.
