Sunlight on the pink bridge

Let's get one thing straight right off the bat: I was not in favor of painting the bridge, and I didn't like the idea of painting it pink. If I had to choose a color, it would have been white or gray so it would have blended in better with the park surroundings.

Having said that, I was over by there today at 1:30 p.m. This time of year, the sunlight hit the balustrades at just the right angle. I wish I had a camera with me to get the parallel lines of bright pink and shadowed pink.

It's like the old Huntington High School building. In early fall and spring, light from the setting sun hits it at just the right angle, and the colors of the old brick pop out at you in ways you never noticed before.

In October, the setting sun provides a similar color display on the changing leaves near my home. And in early November, the rising sun does the same thing on some dull red leaves that are about to fall.

So while I may not be a fan of the pink bridge, there are some times when it provides a pleasing sight. Just not many.
