I went to the Improv Revolution show on Friday night and had to park in the Humanities parking lot because of an event at the Bren. As I got out of my car I noticed this view to the left. I have no idea what the structure is and I didn't bother to find out, but it was interesting to me. From where I stood when I took this picture, I could identify a few light sources: street lamps behind me, the sun beneath the horizon, and the lights attached to the structure in various places. The combination of these seemed cinematic in some capacity. It made me feel isolated, but kind of important, and out of place. Perhaps because of the stark lighting on the mysterious white structure came off as rather uninviting, or perhaps because of the contrast between the the beauty of something natural (a sunset) and an industrial machine.
Mostly, it made me feel melancholy. To me the illumination of this machine seemed only like one more way to waste energy. It called attention to itself as an obstacle to the rather lovely sunset behind it.
