The Green Ball


I went over to the Apple store today to look at some stuff, and when I came out of the store I saw this light in the parking lot against the sky and the dark clouds. The surprise was, after composing the picture and shooting one frame, that the globe showed up green in color! The green is most likely there because there is not a conventional lightbulb inside - it is probably a gas discharge tube, like a florescent bulb. It looks white to our eyes, but green to the sensor in the camera. Anyhow, I loved the contrast of nature, and this perfect man made sphere. A bit surreal perhaps.
