The sun isn\u2019t under clouds, it\u2019s very direct sunlight. Oh, wait, it just went under some clouds, I think, because it just got a little bit dimmer. The light, regardless is bright white light, and the shadows are defined really well and heavy, so the light is really bright. It\u2019s a very white light, it\u2019s very clear, and the light in the shadow is still white light but its dimmer.<\/p>\n<p>About half-way through, a cloud went over the sun and the light dimmed significantly. I took a picture of the dim but the sun came back too quickly for me to capture the darkest point. The picture I did take got a partial dimming of the light.
