Lighting Observation

March 1st, 10pm on the train heading out of the city.

Objective: There are three main layers of lighting here. There is the warm light inside the train, the dark night lit up by tall buildings, and the reflection in the window.

Subjective: The moment was quiet. We had run half way down town to make our show, and then taken a few wrong turns getting back to Penn. It was the moment right after we burst through the tunnel out of Penn. The city slowly receding, building are lit up so brightly, even more so it seems after being in the tunnels under Penn. He is asleep on my shoulder. This quiet moment is suspended in air, projected on to the city through the window.

Light Observation #7

1) 3/14/12 – 8:30 pm – On the LIRR heading back to Mineola Station

2) A flashing light seen out the window of the train as it was moving

3) As I was on my way back to campus from the city, I sat on the LIRR looking out the window on the verge of falling asleep when suddenly, a light flashes. I was so confused at first. The light was so bright and quick that it looked like lightning. I instantly sat up and stared intensely out the window to see if this flash would happen again. It did. I have no idea what caused the flashes, but it continued to intrigue me as I kept staring out the window even harder to try and figure out what was making it. I still don’t know and would like to find out if anyone knows what creates the bright flashes.
