3. I take an interest in this picture as being mysterious because of the shadow and the color. I love the purple because it has an eerie vibe. The purple is also light enough to reflect a shadow. The shadow has an unknown story. We can see there is a shadow but we don’t know exactly what it is. It could be a person, animal, object etc. Who knows… it is a mystery.

1.  Sunday night, next to Hofstra Hall
2.  A light shines up illuminating only the front face of Hofstra Hall.
3. The sharp light illuminated the front face of the building sharpening every edge. The old house is lit up at night like a flag pole, like it is demanding our respect. It seemed so noble and humble at the same time contradicting itself, all together so very Hofstra.

3.  To me there is nothing more mysterious than being told not to do something. These signs block access to the Aokigahara forest at the base of mount Fuji, also known as the forest of death. That can’t be known by just looking at this photo thought this sign is cutting off entry to what looks like a lovely forest. Beyond the ropes the sun shines through the trees making whats beyond look innocent, even if it isn’t.

1. 2/19/17, 7:05, Top of the Rock
2. At the top of Rockefeller Center, you can look out and see all of Manhattan and beyond lit up. You can see everything from Times Square to the Empire State Building to the Chrysler Building. All of the lights are different colors, some are white, some have a yellowish tint, and some are brightly colored.
3. As I stood at the very top of Rockefeller Center, I looked out and saw everything. I felt like I was standing on the top of the world, watching everything pass by. When you look north, you can see a large dark space with what look like strings of white lights going across it, contrasting the bright, completely lit up places of the rest of the city. It seemed so much more peaceful. As I stared, I realized that the dark space was Central Park, and I was thankful that there was such a large green space where you could go to escape the bright lights and bustle of the city.

3. To me, the most mysterious things in the world is space, especially since NASA’s announcement (ALIENS???). I love this picture because it is one of the most vivid pictures of the stars that I have ever seen. It almost appears as thought night doesn’t exist there because it is so bright. I also love the mysterious red glow of the tents in the foreground that add another level of mystery. This picture was taken at Cherry Springs State Park in Pennsylvania, which my roommate and I are planning to visit on our road trip this spring break, and it is considered one of the best places to see stars in the world.

1. February 23rd, 2017; 7:54am; Bill of Rights Hall 13th Floor
2. The sunlit morning fog blanketing the air.
3. I woke up around 6am and looked outside; I thought it was pouring rain the fog was so heavy.  When I woke up again at 7:30, I then thought it was snowing (I also did not have my glasses on). As I was sitting in front of my window getting ready, I found the way the light was cutting through the fog to be so interesting.  It was completely opaque; I couldn’t see anything through it.  But the light made the density of the fog strikingly clear; if the sterile, white noise “feeling” of a hospital room could be visualized, this is what it would look like.  Fittingly, it felt very mysterious, just like our theme of the week.
