Photo Observation #2

Theme: Cold
I think the lack of light in this picture is what really makes it feel so cold. The fog makes the horizon disappear and no longer visible, making the viewer feel alone. The deserted pier over water makes me think this isn’t a rainy summer night, this is winter or fall. Also the feeling of loneliness and desertion that the lack of light gives off the feeling of “cold” more than falling snow or ice ever could. Sure, everyone gets chilly when watching “The Day After Tomorrow,” but that chill that run downs your spine when you realize you are completely alone outside as twilight falls, much more cold than any ice could be.
