Electric Landscape


I made a last minute dash to the hardware store to get more paint, and driving home the sun had already set. What jumped out at me was the brilliant yellow of the sodium vapor lamps on the light poles. Bright splashes of yellow receding into the distance. So I pulled over and looked for the best composition. It's funny, but the lamps on the poles were less obvious in the viewfinder, so the picture is not as much about them anymore. But the one in the foreground is obvious, and I found when I waited for car headlights they added another source of light, and that, combined with the sodium vapor light and the sunset finally gave me something I was happy with.
