Light Observation #2
- 11:48 PM, February 6, 2013 North Netherlands Courtyard
- It is night time. The moon is hidden by thick clouds. As I walk towards my house in the Netherlands, I see the single street lamp outside the house burning a bright orange in the night sky.
- Whenever I walk home late I night, I see this light fill the courtyard outside Hague. The light is eerily inviting. Although I associate it with home, the way the light filters through the grooved glass, the shadows on the ground are like long fingers against the pavement. They stretch out long and far up the walls of the house and the tree next to it. I’m always amazed at house bright the small street lamp shines. Although it’s small, it completely fills the courtyard and lights the entire house. The light is this golden orange and although the shadows are creepy and overbearing, the color is inviting and warm.
