Yellow light glows warm and inviting from inside a doorway in cool and wet Quebec City

Here's another one from our trip to Canada. A cozy doorway on a cozy Quebec street. There's something incredibly inviting when a light bulb glow yellow behind a window or door. If the outside is blue, I am definitely hooked :) !

Glowing

Janitor's closet at the beach

Something about the washed out turquoise color of the wood in combination with the orange glow streaming from this janitor's closet at Robert Moses Beach appealed to me, but proved very hard to "catch". I tried many different angles and exposures and just couldn't quite capture it the way I saw it with the naked eye. The glow on the other hand was nicely enhanced by the way my camera interpreted the incandescent light while I had set the white balance to "cloudy". It's always fun to play around :) .

White

Abandoned warehouse in Babylon, Long Island

I was intrigued by the white-on-white colors combined with rust. This is an old warehouse door near the Babylon Town Docks. Ironically my husband, standing far away from the monitor, had a different take on this - he thought it looked like a birds-eye view of a pick-up truck in the snow. The mailbox being the pick-up and the knob and lock lanterns/hydrants or some other sidewalk fixtures, with the newspaper holder below the box making for perfect tire tracks in the snow... Yes, now I see it too - pretty funny
