with lights at night

Here I am again playing with lights. 

Most of my spare time, I spent it outside. I love to see lots of people on a

busy evening, doing what they are suppose to do,

going where they ought to be, 

I love to watch people passing by in front of me,

thinking where they would go, what kind of family they have back home,

thinking why do they pass and walk by those busy streets,

what are their business.

But as I tried to capture those not-so-exciting moments,

I came up with a very exciting output with my pictures,

they are those whom I do not expect as my subject.

By the time I took these picture two weeks ago, 

I wanted the buildings, trees and people as my subject.

I have already written an article previously 

regarding lights as a subject but this time,

I wanted to think of them and look at them

as the life or every thing when darkness falls.

They shine forcibly, giving all their efforts for the people below them well-illuminated.

They stood in a corner unnoticed, but still they

smilingly provide us light for us to be safe

on our way home.

For some photographers, they think that light is much needed

in their profession because

better lightning or should I say best lightning

provides great results.

But little they notice that lights plays majority as their subject. 

These are some of those unnoticed things

that lights can do for us.

(I have read a quotation about light, and it did give me an ablaze

about lights.)

Light gives of itself freely, filling all available space. 

It does not seek anything in return; 

it asks not whether you are friend or foe.

It gives of itself and is not thereby diminished.
