This week’s Photo Challenge is Let There Be Light! Our first response was here, but here’s another, quite different take on the theme…
Little pools of light in the gathering darkness… The lamps come on in NYC’s Central Park on a snowy night.
February 8, 2013. More photos are here. And yet a third interpretation of “Let There Be Light!” is here.
... kayaked the waters around New York for more than 15 years in his red Feathercraft folding kayak. He was originally from (the former) Czechoslovakia and lived in the U.K. and California before settling down in New York. He was a neuroscientist at the Mount Sinai School of Medicine in New York City. He died in 2016.

Lovely cold winter images, the difference between the white snow and the blue snow. Its very difficult to shoot snow in shadow, hence the blue tint, to get rid of the that up your exposer on the camera around to click and you should see a difference. :-) Here is mine http://wp.me/p39nN5-4m

But I like the blue tint… ;-)
And I do like yours too—very dramatic lighting! Thanks, Pete!!

Part I was really oustatnding, but the fine bluish light is gorgeous too.

Even though, as Pete pointed out above, it’s a bit—not entirely!—artificial…
