Lighting Observation

Hofstra University (Oak St) Friday, April 1 6:59pm
Objective Description: The traffic light is red. There is a row of white-yellow headlights facing me. The sky is covered by clouds that are grey, white, and light purple. The sun is behind me, setting. The trees lining the street are being lit from the side as the sun bounces off the dorm windows.
Subjective Description: The overall image was somewhat compelling because the sky was objectively gloomy but as the tree leaves rustle in the low sunlight and the deep green and orange meld together next to an old brick building which almost looks golden with the late afternoon sun, the day itself seems to assume a warm summer evening even though we know that not to be true.
