Light Observation 5
1.) Hempstead Turnpike, Long Island New York, March 1st, 7pm.
2.) I am in the passenger seat of the car with my friend driving down the street to Trader Joes. It is dark outside and the street lamps are on. While sitting in my seat I can notice the glare on the street lights on the window showing the horizontal marks on the car from when it was hand dried at the car wash last week. The lamps of the street lights are a warmer temp, appearing to be orange almost. On the, bottom of the car window the lights from the passing car’s headlights make a glare similar to the street lamps, but their temperature is cooler, appearing creamy yellow.
3.) These lights made me think about life passing by. The lights would come and go one by one, each one a representation of a life time on this planet. While bright and lively, it is only a brief moment. Then it dims off, only for the next light to appear. Over the course of the 20 minuet drive hundreds of lights will have passed by. Each one being erased after its brief moment of existence.
wow, Sounds like something Becket would say, kind of dark.
