A Winter Nocturne

Hello Arts Ink! Welcome back to Captured Moments with Hannah Park. As the Winter semester begins to unfold, I look back on my camera roll, and see a multitude of images of the snow falling down on campus. I love the Winter season, as I love the snow (largely from growing up in Colorado). This past week, as I was walking through the Law Quad in the evening, I captured this picture. The Law Library stands still, with a softening glow of golden light. The contrast between the blue sky and the yellow lights, intertwine beautifully with each other.

A recent song obsession is “Saturn” by Sleeping at Last. I am reminded of this song when I look at this picture because the violin and orchestral arrangement reflects the experience of the sun setting and the night taking over. The piano evokes a sense of weightlessness that mirrors the warm lights of the library. The overall feeling of this song shares the wonder of something grand. As a pianist, I fell in love with the composition of the piano in this piece, as it starts gently and turns into something grand and big. Being able to experience Ann Arbor, is a beautiful thing. As this song reflects the beauty of life, it is a parallel to the glow of the winter season in Ann Arbor.
