Week 3- "Nightbreak" Lake

 The night portrayal is amazingly beautiful. The very dark shoreline combined with a ray of light from the outlaying posts gives a perfect contrast between the water and the surrounding area. As we remember the previous pictures we know that the lake was still frozen, but in this picture we only tend to focus on the water that is lit up and it gives us the assumption that the lake now looks completely unfrozen. Our eyes are drawn to the lit up water, and not to the surrounding dark area. Look closely and it is still frozen in almost the exact same spots as the week previous. But in light of the previous gloomy shots, the lake is now so peaceful.  You feel as though you can just drift asleep as the nighttime keeps. It’s silent, you can even feel that in the picture. The reflections give a look of a slight breeze on the water. No stars appear as the clouds still linger in this overcast and winter season. The mountains are unseen with the smog still in the city. But apart from the ugly smog and lack of mountains, the calmness and peace from the reflections and angle from the shoreline going up the lake into the small town truly is something that can be felt.
