This photo was taken during a night on the town. My friend and I went out dancing in Encinitas, and as we were walking past a 7-Eleven I noticed this beautiful mural that was painted on the side of the building. What I found humorous was the fact that I had passed this building numerous times in the past and had never noticed it in it's full glory. It was only now that the lights were kissing the top of the walls and trickling down that I saw the beauty in the textured painting. The branches are 3-Dimensional, and the light only makes it pop out further. The highlights and shadows are exaggerated because of the lack of light in it's environment. I was fully aware of any passersby that may have thought I looked a little crazy standing at this wall, giggling while taking pictures of it. Yet it only made the giddiness inside of me grow, with once again living in this secret lighting world.
Very nice image and analysis of the photo - the mural is an interesting comment of the normal texture that comes from foliage being brought out on the wall
