22nd Annual Smithsonian Magazine Photo Contest Artistic
Before the darkness
In this moody photo, a lone lamp casts a gentle glow beneath the dark branches of a tree as twilight settles in. The branches, silhouetted against the fading light, stretch out like intricate, shadowed veins, creating a contrast with the warm light from the lamp. The scene captures a moment just before dusk, as the sun dips low and the last hints of natural light mingle with the artificial glow. There’s a quiet, almost haunting quality to the image, evoking a sense of calm solitude, as if the lamp itself is keeping watch as day gives way to night.
