A quiet light in the big city

This is an image of a single lamp. It sits silently in the foreground, center stage but nothing else in the scene. The lamp is tall and traditional in style. Its pole has a warm, coppery hue. The shade of the lamp is black and it is bell-shaped. A warm, soft light emanates from the base of the lamp and rises up. That light isn’t bright or aggressive. It’s warm and welcoming, like a little personal sun.

Back this lamp is a vast, contemporary city. The City skyline is composed of many skyscrapers. They are bunched together, and form a jagged line against the sky. The sky itself is a quiet muted blue. There’s a large water body, like a river or a bay, in front of the city. The water is still, and mirrors the sky’s light. A long bridge runs over the water. You can see the intricate bridge structure spanning the two halves of the city. The photo is very artfully arranged. The story’s main character is the lamp. The entire big city is in the distance beyond. Out of focus, slightly blurry. This emphasizes the lamp even more. We are first pulled in by our eyes on the lamp. The city all its magnitude and might in seems to spying from afar. With the warm light of the lamp, it doesn’t feel too scary or cold.
