Light Observation 2/4/25 – Ed Carluzzo

2/4/25- 4:12 pm- Lawrence Herbert School of Communication’s Writer’s Room

Objective Description: Orange sunlight hits the yellowish-green leaves of a tree outside the writer’s room window.

Subjective Description: As the day nears an end the warm orange glow from the setting sun illuminates a tall tree outside the window of my film school. The sun strikes these yellowish-green leaves with energy and warmth in such a way that the leaves themselves seem to come to life, swaying and dancing against the cold, harsh, afternoon breeze. The rest of the world slowly begins to be cloaked in darkness as one of the last visuals I see before night approaches its cold, dark, unnerving head are the individual leaves on this tall, grand, tree. The individual bright leaves struck by the warm amber sunset appear to me as lights on a Christmas tree, inviting in a sense of calm, comfort, into my heart as I stand there in a world that couldn’t feel any more dark and frigid. Only after the sun fully sets do I yearn to see that scene from nature’s own play performed once again tomorrow.
