Week 4: Lighting the way
As I approached the bridge between a shopping center, I noticed that the walls were lined with a row of bushes covered in lights. The net of lights were unlike traditional Christmas tree lights in that they were round, ball shapes. The glow from these lights created shadows within the leaves and highlighted the pathway of the bridge. These lights contrasted with the bright, obnoxious signage on the buildings surrounding me and brought about a sense of ease when crossing the bridge. The softness of the white lights made me feel comfort and happiness as it served to guide my pathway.
