Sunset ‧ 日落

While driving on Williamsburg Bridge, it was the longest silence between us. I couldn't help but look through the window and tried to avoid the awkwardness. 

It was the sunset time. 

The fading sunlight blended with pink, orange, and purple in the blue sky. It created a warm glow on the clouds. Everything appeared not simply with its original color but looked like covered by a golden veil. At that breathtaking moment, I recalled Monet's paintings in watercolors. Those strokes under his brush look somewhat blurred but still distinguishable. I suddenly realized that it might where the subtlety of Impressionists' artworks lies in. 

Coincidentally, it also painted the indescribable tension in our small car.

當車子行駛在威廉斯堡橋上，我們陷入一整天最長的靜默。我不禁望向窗外試圖避免尷尬。

正好是日落時分。

逐漸微弱的日光在藍天下混合了粉紅、橘色、紫色，在雲上形成一道溫暖的餘暉。萬物看起來不僅呈現它原來的顏色，還像是被罩上一層金色的面紗。在那個令人屏息的時刻，我想到莫內的水彩畫。出自他筆下的景色看起來雖然些許模糊卻依舊清晰可辨。我突然發現這就是印象派畫作的微妙之處。

巧合的是，也恰好描繪出在這小小的車子裡無以名狀的緊張。
