end of the day

I've been filming at night--things look more beautiful in the dark.
Tonight I walked out onto the frozen lake to shoot cross-country ski tracks. But when I got home, it was the serendipitous lights in the background that fit my mood:
reflective
romantic...
and so, a bit of Brahms before bed: Intermezzo for piano, opus 117, no. 1.

Absolutely beautiful. So much captured in a matter of seconds.

Light and home, a refuge at the end of the day those lights have a friendly quality.

hauntingly beautiful - I've played it several times...the ballet of lights

That is so exquisite.

You all's comments make lying on the frozen lake with my camera worth it, even if I did almost freeze walking back home.

Oooh I like that one! Kind of a bit abstract. I also liked watching it sideways - so it looked like the moving light was dripping down.
Glad you didn't fall through the frozen lake!

GINGA: What a terrific idea: I tipped my laptop sideaways and the flick looks even better.

Thanks for the concern, but no worries: this is Minnesota, you can drive a car on the ice.

It actually took me a while to see this one...I spent quite a few seconds staring at the blackness and wondering what the point was before I registered the slowly shifting lights. Wonderful use of framing--like people have said, the feeling of coming home after staring at the infinite.

JENN: I worry about the speed/timing of these flicks as much as anything...

I almost started this one with the light already moving, but that wasn't the point--insofar as these things have points.
(Adding music like Brahms gives them much more "story.")
In fact, you put the point just right.Thanks.
