Street Light

This attractive streetlight is outside The Highlanes Gallery in Drogheda.
I'd hoped to have had time to see a photographer exhibition by Anthony Haughey
which is on show there when I was in Drogheda covering court today but the gallery was closed by the time the court finished.

Olympus E-P1
1/125s f/3.8 at 16.0mm iso800 full exif

other sizes: small medium large original auto

Lots of visual interest here. I can climb the lamp post and reach the top of the chimney to the moon!

Fantastic... -- not only the colours; but the alignment of lamp, aerial, moon and chimney....

Some colours just work together, such as blues and golds. So it is here. I like the positioning of the moon as well, though as always it seems to shrink as soon as one points a camera at it; I'll bet that like me it seemed more prominent to you.
The old style architecture and lamp are well illustrated against the relative plain backdrop of the sky.

very well seen and taken image, superb with the moon in view. v

It has the colour that would look good on an old gas street light as well as the style.

Very nice perspective and composition. I like blue / gold contrast. "V"

Love the way the lamp dominates this low light scene. Great golden glow and point of view. V.

Lovely light and POV, and that tiny moon is super! The lamp post is quite attractive as well. V.

Nicely done

Nicely balanced - and the moon too :)

Wonderful ornamental lamp. Nice PoV and framing too! Too bad you missed the exhibit, but you did get a great lamp post photo! V
