After spending my Saturday night at the Pacific Edge Hotel in Laguna Beach, I was awoken by the beautiful sound of the waves. The marine layer filled the air with a dark, gloomy fog that cast a dark shadow on an otherwise lovely morning. Fortunately, out on a stroll by the sand, the fog cleared and the sun shone brightly and made the ocean glisten. I noticed as the morning shifted from gloomy to bright, so did the life around me. When the fog filled the air the streets were quiet and the mood was somber; when the sun was shining people were out walking their dogs, playing in the sand, and soaking in the light. It was a memorable sight to see.
Really nice post and observations. The shift in emotion from Fog to Sun is exactly what we, as lighting designers, key into when trying to affect emotions.
