a moment of light

Description

I was just passing by when I noticed this old lamp, it was broken apparently long time ago, and there was no light. I liked the shape of it and the old bricks background however, but no matter how I tried to capture it, the result was flat and uninterested. Frustrated I decided to leave. While waiting for the traffic signal to cross the road, I turned around and immediately rushed back, since the setting sun highlighted the lamp and for a few minutes it created exactly that special atmosphere I was searching for. Perfect moments sometimes happen :)

Thank you, Harvey! Glad that you like it :) for me it was interesting how this light came up for a moment, this was it that created the atmosphere. I think I will go there one evening with my lensbaby to get a little bit different look. #11557354
