Week 4 - Warm Meets Cool

This is yet another photo taken of light reflecting off the ceiling above my bed. This seems to be a location where I see a lot of nice lighting. This picture was taken at about 5am before I went to sleep. It captures the cool pale blue light of the rising sun meeting the warm yellow/orange light of my desk lamp. They both meet just about exactly on the lighting fixture on my ceiling and I feel that makes a nice midpoint. At first the opposing colors inspired a feeling of conflict, looking like a war of hot and cold struggling above my head, but then I took a second look. The colors didn't feel like they were struggling, but just existing adjacent to each other, almost with a sense of harmony. I'm not quite sure how to put more into the words of it but it feels nice. The picture itself does not do it justice but I did what I could with the tools I have.
