Anime Skies: Pink + Purple Sunsets in Real Life

Getting a wand and wishing for anime skies in real life. 

I love the spectacular, vibrant, and super saturated sunset skies in anime, where the clouds are sparkling and ever-inspiring. 

I decided to alter this photo of the sunset at the lake by enhancing the contrast and colors, embellishing it with sparkles, sun flare effects, and more for an extra dream factor.

When Twilight Appears: Shining Lights in Sydney

The city lights come alive. The sky darkens and gets bluer, losing its brightness and natural source of light.

The artificial lights glow up the city, the parks, and the buildings bringing a whole new energy into night.

Into the Woods: Nature's Blue-Green Enchantment Effect

After the rain, everything sparkles and glistens. The air smells fresher. The sun comes out, brightening our moods and our views.

I loved the peacefulness of this scene and decided to add extra dreamy effects with a mix of blur and blue-green hues.

Pylon Lookout Part III: Wait a little longer after the first magical start of twilight as everything darkens and becomes more vibrant. 

The last drops of sunlight remain as the city lights turn on.

Classic Sydney Harbor Bridge & Tropical Gardens

From this scene, it looks like a tropical, humid summer with vibrant plants and overcast slash rainy skies. 

The reality is more like winter...but still just as magnificent when you watch the contrast of nature and city vibes come alive from this garden.

The Twilight Hour: Subdued Tones & Colors in Sydney

Pylon Lookout Part II: The twilight hour approaches after the sun sets. 

The colors become muted and soft but still bright enough where sights are visible. 

The clouds have higher contrast and are more prominent. 

The skyscrapers stand tall and get ready to illuminate into the night.
