Week #8 - Andrew and the Crimson Bridge

Please tilt your head....

This is the bridge that links the medical sciences and the science library at UCI.  I find this picture interesting because the lights isn't really that functional.  It is isolated in alternating pools of warm light.  They mimic streetlamps on an avenue more than they actually illuminate a pathway.  Also, the light turned up on my camera as much more of a saturate red than the simply warm-yellow I was seeing with my eyes.  
The light makes me feel lost.  As if I was wandering block to block in a tireless city, depressed, broke, and hopeless.  The colors of the sky in the back however give me a sense of the past.  The light in this picture reminds me that life goes on no matter what we do.  What we experience are comparable to pools of light.  Our paths are not fully illuminates; we must take steps into darkness to get to the next pool.  
Summary of my feelings from this light: Drudgery, wandering, dwindling.
