Cowes Maritime Magic: Illuminated Sails at the Royal Yacht Squadron

A beautiful early-evening walk past the Royal Yacht Squadron in Cowes, with the sails illuminated by the sun.  I saw this photo, with the RYS canons in the foreground. I really like the contrast of the vibrancy of the colours, the bold pink sail in front, followed by the two solid bold blue sails, and then the punch of yellow and red.
