Monument to Melancholy #2

© All rights reserved
I am fascinated by lamplight. This is another of my 'November' photographs taken in Henry County, Indiana. This parking lot happens to be attached to a large medical center in the vicinity of my mother's assisted living facility. The lamp is illuminated as evening begins to descend. Other lamps can be seen at a distance in an adjacent parking lot and through the trees where my mother resides. The impending darkness, the juxtaposition of the hydrant and the lamppost, and the empty parking lot give the photograph a feeling of loneliness. I think you can tell, even without seeing the photographer, that he was alone at the time he composed this photograph.
