    As I look out at the grey, wet, windy weather, I can't help by feel a little bit of envy for the balmy warmth that emanates out of from this delicilus shot.

      Hi Chris, yes the light does have a different look here, mostly because there is a mixture of artificial and natural light sources... a street light illuminates the bench, while dawn light illuminates the horizon!

    The mood of this picture is so different than the previous one! But there's always a bench... Beautiful sunset light.
    Have a nice day.
