Light Observation #3

2/21/2026 Outside Roosevelt Field Mall
Sitting on the curb outside the mall with a friend, two boba teas, and a Neopets plushie from a collab with the tea place. The plushie sits on the curb, a blue Shoyru to match the blue tea. The sunlight is soft, clouds obstructing direct light in most places. Every so often, the sun will come through and brighten up the surrounding area, making the plushie and drink more vibrant for a minute before the colors go back to muted
The change in the sunlight gave a really intriguing contrast between a cold grey day and a sunny afternoon. I feel much colder looking at my tea and plushie while the sun isn’t out. It’s an almost somber feel despite my excitement in the moment. Then the sun comes out and it’s all washed away. It’s a good day with one of my best friends and all around good experience. These two feelings came and went with the movement of the clouds, creating an interesting dichotomy between light levels
