The Variance of Light and Color

This picture was taken from the Mesa Parking Structure; I was on my way to see an evening performance of Dance Escape when I stopped to document the view.

When I noticed the view, I was halted by the different focal points of light and the beautiful sunset backdrop. There were so many different sources of light: the bright floodlights illuminating the baseball field, the lampposts scattered throughout the parking lot, and the distant lights in the city revealing tall, corporate buildings (though my camera didn’t do the latter justice). In the moment my eye was drawn to the brightest lights and to what they were illuminating, but after revisiting the picture, I was mesmerized by the outdoor parking lot lighting. The contrast between the small pools of light created by the street lamps and shadows captivated me as opposed to the baseball field, which was pretty evenly lit. I was drawn to the variance of light in the background.

The sunset was a plus.
