Golden Hour

Golden hour lighting on bushes and reflecting brightly off water

The prompt of golden hour inspired me to capture the feeling of this time of day in my photograph. To me, the warm glow of golden hour feels nostalgic because it reminds me of my childhood, playing outside right before the sun goes down. To photograph this feeling, I wanted to find a place where the sun would make the entire place glow. At this location, I liked the way the sun bounced off the water and created a lens flare as, for some reason, it reminds me a lot more of childhood.
