Everything Looks Different at Night - Day 18

Birch Tree Bark in Floodlight    

Floodlight Accentuates the Shadows     

- and brings out the texture of birch bark on the tree trunk.    

The floodlights are close to this tree. The highlights and shadows from the floodlights makes the texture of the birch bark and the form of the tree stand out in the darkness.      

Everything Looks Different at Night - Day 10

Hospital Entrance at Night    

Night Lighting Going Into the Lobby   

- at the hospital there is no distinction between day and night     

The main visible difference at the hospital between day and night is that at night there are fewer people around. The lighting at the entrance gets your eyes used to the 24-hour brighness inside.    

Everything Looks Different at Night - Day 9

Shadows at Night    

Is It Strange to See Shadows at Night  

- wrapping around the cylindrical form of the tree trunks?     

Cast shadows are created when an object blocks light from reaching an area that is lit by a light source. The criss-crossed shadows on these tree trunks were made by the branches that stand between  the floodlights and the trees that they are spotlighting.    

Everything Looks Different at Night - Day 6

Twin Floodlights   

A Double Bulb Floodlight Set

- that is turned on by motion activated sensors    

Mounted on the side of a building, motion activated floodlights give instant light in areas where it is needed, but only when light is called for.  

     

Everything Looks Different at Night - Day 5

On Guard in the Floodlights   

Casper waits patiently  

- for the motion activated floodlights to turn off again    

A guard dog's best defences are a keen sense of smell and using the element of surprise against a suspect. Floodlights are for humans, dogs do a lot better in the dark. 

     

Everything Looks Different at Night - Day 1

Floodlighting on Trees  

A Stand of Trees at Night 

-  floodlighting highlights textures and cylindrical forms        

Everything looks different at night. Artificial night light changes from location to location, and turns ordinary scenes into the unfamiliar. The floodlighting hitting these trees gives an orange glow to the trunks, and the low angle of the light picks out the textures of the bushes and underbrush.
