0009 — Orange Sky

There is a mid-rise apartment building in a central Auckland suburb, located a short walk from both the city's largest hospital and the tallest of the city's fourteen ancestral mountains. In one of the flats, one of the north-facing bedrooms contains a small balcony. Off that balcony, on a warm evening in May, the sun sets behind the buildings, the bright orange retreating, giving way to purple and gray.
