UNCW

I sat at the entrance to UNCW between Leutze and Morton hall at about 3:15pm and my light observation seemed to be overwhelmed by shadows.
The shadow of my hand across the page of my notebook.
The light swaying shadows of leaves blowing in the wind.
The darker shadows following people fading in and out of other shadows with light and shadow passing over their faces as they walk by.
The shadow of a bike as it passes through the crowd.
The solid dark shadows of the columns stretching sideways into the bright sunlit parking lot. The columns themselves are mostly shaded, with light only hitting the bottom.
The light and shadows change as people and objects move. The light and shadow appear to be constantly moving.
The direct light shines down through the opening in the roof.
Light bounces from above onto the tops of everyone’s head as they walk by, making their hair kind of glow.
The light shines down onto a stationary yellow bike casting one side in shadows and the other is brightly lit and glowing.
