An Illuminating Moment

I have driven past this local College Chapel several times thinking I want to try a shot sometime. Well with the frigid temperatures our area has endured the pond here was frozen nice and thick and despite wishing it were clear ice I can’t complain. I arrived early hoping to get a sunset shot but that fizzled out. Since I was warmly dressed I decided to plop down in the snow surrounding the pond and set up my tripod and sit and wait. I sat in the snow unfazed by the cold for at least a half hour and the only thing stopping me from leaving was I could just begin to see the room inside the chapel was lit. As it got progressively darker, obviously the light in the chapel started to record more nicely in the ice. I was not completely satisfied that the image I captured was nice enough and was debating heading home when all of a sudden all the lamp posts around the chapel lit up and all the streaks of yellow lit up the ice! I did return the next night and have a second view I will post soon.
