Light Observation 2
Date-Time-Location: 2/6/19, 7:00 P.M., Trinity Evangelical Lutheran Church
Objective: The sun had set not too long ago, and the entire church was dark. The only obvious sources of light in the room were the four candles that were lit near the altar.
Subjective: During the day, this church aims to make use of the natural light shining through the stained glass windows lining the walls. When darkness falls during the night, these four candles remain lit for a short time to provide a small but powerful source of illumination for the church. The embers from the candles appear to expand far beyond the alter and cast shadows on the surrounding walls and on the pews. These candle lights are small and yet they succeed in filling the room with their enveloping warmth. These four lights seems to offer hope, a sense of longing for the day to return along with a certain assuredness that this longing will soon be satisfied. For now this light burns low, but soon the sun will return to the sky making way for the morning once again. It is darkest before the dawn indeed.
