Week 2, Dorothee Catipon, Student Center

 Just before my club meeting, I'd decided to sit outside near the bridge from Humanities to the Student Center area just after the sun was beginning to set. While I had passed this building hundreds of times at this point in my life, even been in the building quite a few times because it has the big Zot n Go, The way the sun was hitting it was new to me. I hadn't expected to see anything significant even though I was sitting at a table I never tried sitting at before. 

I normally notice good sunsets if I'm outside around that time, but this one didn't seem all that interesting given how cloudy it was. However, the way the sunlight reflected off of the buildings stood out. The photo doesn't quite capture it, but the building looked much warmer and had a surprisingly natural gradient to it.  The top of the building was much more orange and as less light was able to pass through the farther down, likely due to the other buildings blocking the sun, so you could really see the transition of light to shadow. The warmth of the sun setting is still unmatched outdoors with all of the street lights that are everywhere on campus.
