Light: San Francisco (week 6,38/365,shinsato)

We landed in the heart of San Francisco tourist district, in Ghiradelli Square, to find some dinner. These lights were the only picture I had the heart to take that day. I was longing for the beauty of nature after a long day in a workshop, but this is where we landed. The picture of these famous lights perhaps portray a certain loneliness and forlorn emptiness despite their fame. But the electricity continues to flow through the bulbs that haven't yet broken, and people continue to come the square to buy stuff, guided by these sad bulbs and the hard work of the workers who replace the bulbs both on this street lamp and high up in the more "glamorous" famous sign.
