Wordless Wednesday – No words, just pictures. Allow your photo(s) to tell the story.

Photo taken at night from a garden of a building that has lights on in some of the rooms. The lights give an orange glow. There is also one bright, white security light shining.

    Your photo is very atmospheric… I love how the warmth of the lights in the windows contrast with the dark, misty (creepy?) exterior.

      Yes, those warm lights do look inviting, don’t they? Especially welcoming during cold, winter nights.

    That is one bright light coming from the third floor! Searching the grounds for an intruder?

      It’s a security light that comes on whenever anyone (or anything) goes pass.

        That’s one heck of a security light!

          Given the size of the garden and there being no other buildings or lighting for miles, I think it has to be strong. It certainly packed a punch.

    Looks like there’s a bubble over that building.

      A building a bubble. I think I’ve seen similar hanging on Christmas trees recently.

    It could look quite ghostly, Hugh but the lights from the building give out warmth. Great shot!

      There was a mist in the air the night I took the photo, so it felt ghostly, Cathy. And the building where the lights were coming from is very old, so I expect a few ghosts walk the corridors (and the gardens).

    Very atmospheric. I like the halo effect from the spotlight, and the light that just catched the edges of the shrubs and topiary.

      It was the bright, white security light that gave that halo effect, Eileen. Made all the more better by there being no light pollution. There was just enough light to highlight some of the objects in the garden. The photo was taken in Dolgellau, North Wales.

              It’s beautiful. Very quiet and off the beaten track, but if you’re looking for some peace and quiet to recharge the batteries, it’s a great place to visit.

    An interesting night shot, Hugh. The windows glow with a warm light but I can barely make out the objects in the shadows. Something is lurking in the foreground. At first I thought a headstone. Do tell 😀

      That’s a circular pond sounded by some small hedges to look like a maze, Terri. There are also some big stone bowls sat on pillars. You can also just make out two garden benches each side of the photo. The garden took on a completely different look during the night to that of the daytime. No headstones, though.

        Lol, I didn’t think so. Hard to tell on my phone. Have a great week and hope your 2024 is off to a good start!

    I like the way there is an arc around the bright white light filling the area with a chilled light in contrast to the warmth of the yellow lights from the window. I love the contrasts caused by the different lights and shadows 💜

      Yes, light and shadows are interesting subjects, especially at nighttime, Willow. They can be eerie, or beautiful, or both. This photo was taken with no light pollution from other sources either.
