It's kind of a gray morning here in the Philly area. The color palette is subdued and quiet, almost drained of energy. It's my least favorite light. That got me thinking ...
What are your four favorite kinds of light?
- Sunsets - It's a no brainer. I love them all. The Hazy yellows, the fiery oranges, smoky reds, the pastel purples and pinks. Sunsets infuse everything with last light of the day and prepare us for tomorrow.
- Moonlight on Snow - The bluish cast of moonlight on freshly fallen snow brings me a peace that I can't really explain. Until I think about shoveling!
- GE Reveal Bulbs - I know they are not good for the environment, but the light these bulbs give off just seems so perfect at home. It's less yellow, colors, especially wood tones, look so much fuller. The quality of light in homes has been going down a lot in my opinion, with too much harsh light from cheap CFLs. Nighttime outside is being spoiled by the horrid orangey cast of mercury vapor lamps. Treat yourself to a few of these bulbs where you relax at home. You will be glad you did.
- Campfire light - Either from a back yard firepit, a fire on the beach or a real campfire, there is something magic about a fire. The way the oranges and yellows fight back the enveloping darkness is one of my favorite things to see.
Anyway - kind of deep for the day before Cinco de Mayo, but let's hear what you think. Have a great weekend and enjoy safely!
