The golden hour through glass
Sometimes the most beautiful landscape or light finds us behind a glass (which in the case of most skyscrapers cannot even be open). In the winter I can see the most beautiful sunset light from my office, and I wish I could open that window and take some shots (unfortunately impossible). One day I had the camera with me and decided to give it a shot. Another attempt was shooting through the window while I was in the metro. The glass was dirty and the visibility poor, but I loved the golden light coming from the sun setting above the sea (the left side). The two best shots below.
From my office window, in Downtown Dubai, a beautiful late afternoon light. I was lucky the windows were clean.
