1) My dorm room, Thursday, February 13, 9:18PM
2) The lamp light shining, over the edge of the shelf over my desk, and through my vase of aquatic plants.
3) The light shines over the bookshelf from below, with the straight edge of the bookshelf making the angle of the light stark in the top of the vase, compared to the shadowed bottom. The light from the lamp is soft, muted by the lampshade and by the fact that I only use soft white 60-watt light bulbs. Although the shift from light to shadow through the vase is jarring, it is comforting in a way. It feels almost like a sunset, like a warm, soft light shining across the water at a lake or beach when the sun is going down, giving you those last few moments of warm light.
