pitiful replacement

Posted by e. (New York, NY, United States) on 26 November 2007 in Cityscape & Urban.

Man-made light is such a pitiful replacement for the sun. If you look in the distance, you can make out the string of lights illuminating the Key Bridge. Yet even in its last waning minutes, the sun manages to outshine those supposedly bright lights.

This is wonderful e, I love the way the buildings are silhouetted against the beautiful sky and the ripples on the water stand out wonderfully in the light.
