New Wallpaper: The Sweet Light


The Sweet Light, originally uploaded by snowdog101.

I chose this photograph because it satisfies my urge for new places. My wanderlust is not *quite* this easily tamed, but it helps. The capture of rays of light in this photograph, along with the golden lighting of the buildings, contrasts nicely with the foreground framing of dark leaves, and the three buildings balance each other to create a pleasing asymmetry.
