Old Philadelphia Light

Uploaded: April 23, 2013

Description


---
I once started a collection of decorative lights found on the exteriors of urban buildings in Philadelphia. I'll have to re-assemble that series.
----
I'm sure I have shot this light before, but never in the dark of night, and never with newly sprouted locust leaves in the frame.
----
This is near Broad St. and Chestnut in Center City, Philadelphia.
----
It is NOT a black and white shot!

Terrific night capture Michelle! We have been to the LA Museum of Art in California where they have an outdoor exhibit of a collection of old lampposts. I would love to see it at night though! #1525219
