Out of the dark,
Into a dark path
I now must enter:
Shine [on me] from afar
Moon of the mountain fringe ~Izumi Shikibu

Hop on over to Patti’s site to join in this week’s lens-artists challenge: light and shadow
Travels and Trifles wrote, “This week the Lens-Artists team invites you to join us in exploring the magic of light. Sometimes we plan ahead and rise in the early morning hours to capture the sunrise, only to find it obscured by clouds. Other times we await the sunset only to find it less than spectacular. And sometimes, every now and then, we just get lucky and a boring scene becomes magical.”
What could be more boring than a global industrial grid bike rack or

the concrete foundation of an underpass.

Then there is the magical moment of a playground in the early morning hours.
