Branches and Orbs

This black-and-white photograph presents a striking interplay of light, shadow, and texture. The focal point is a cluster of glowing, spherical street lamps that resemble moons suspended in the dark. Their soft, diffused glow creates a strong contrast against the deep black background, making them appear almost otherworldly.

In the foreground, bare tree branches weave across the illuminated orbs, their sharp silhouettes slicing through the soft light. The delicate twigs and occasional curled leaves add a layer of complexity and organic tension to the otherwise geometric, glowing forms.
