Contrast

Photo taken January 20, 2011 of clouds as the sun was setting.

I am learning that in this life there is a balance in all things.. or in other words opposition in all things… when one experiences light,… one becomes very aware of the dark. Experiencing Spiritual events seem to be either preceded by or followed by opposition. There is a very real contrast between the two.
I increased the "contrast" in the photo above. The blacks of the valley floor  got darker while the beauty of the gold light on the clouds intensified. It seems the more contrast between the two, the magnificence of this winter sunset hitting the Eastern mountains increased.
