Old Town City Hall

While in Old Town Pasadena, the sun was setting and the rays were just about to fall behind the City Hall building. I find it fascinating how light bends around objects and, as seen here, the sun looks as though it is on the other side of the wall that it is peeking over. The sun also has an outer glow that looks like a giant sun around the pinpointed dot that is the focal point of the light in the shot.

The lighting gives the leaves on the top left an almost painted-on look, and the street lamps turning on give a sense of nostalgia for another time as the sun sets and this older lighting style turns on. This picture gives a feeling of both time and season due to the positioning of the light that could either be early morning or late night as the sun goes through its rotation, and the illumination of the leaves and the shadows cast across the scene along with the orange leaves makes me think it is in a colder season, which it was, showing how light can tell such a large and detailed story all on its own.
