Moonlight

As day turns to night, moonlight touches twilight. In the morning dew, it slowly disappears in the mist. A play of light and shadow. Contrasts of light and dark. The colors of the moon's path: from the gray-blue of the night to the rust-brown of the morning. A harmonious interplay of colors and materials.
