Photo Observation 3

I took this photo on my iPhone 7 on 2/14/19 at Concordia College in Bronxville

Theme: Cold

Description: This photo was taken at Concordia college as the time was nearing 11:00 PM. After the recent snowfall, much of what remained ended up turning into ice which made walking across this quad quite the interesting (and comical) task. What is intriguing about this photo is that the sense of “cold” comes less from the presence of the ice (although it certainly helped) and more from the white light emanating from the side of the building. This light reflects off the ice and makes it more prominent as the viewers eyes are drawn straight down the field. This entire display can almost give one the impression that they are walking down this path towards the white light. This light does not offer warmth, but rather it offers quite a chill as it makes the ice in the center resemble a small body of water that is pulling me in. Walking down this path, seeing the white light reflecting off of the ice, the dismal feeling in the air as well as the ever present foreboding nature of this white light overseeing it all filled me with a sense of urgency. This display brought to mind no other thought other than I wanted to get out of this cold air and into the warmth of the building before me. Perhaps this was the purpose of that white light all along.
