Entry 26

I spoke a bit earlier about the light arches that appear from lamps covered in shades, how when you put a shaded lit lamp near a wall there will bee this small bit of dark space just below and above the lamp shade. How the light only hits the wall a few inches above the shade do to this darker area. Well as I was walking though some halls today I noticed that these dark areas and arches of light are everywhere. When you're in an office building where the lights are laid into the ceiling the top corners of that ceiling will not be hit directly by the light and the ceiling will remain much darker than the other areas of the hall. Plus, the parabolas of light will appear so there is a visible wavy line across the wall, highest closest to a light source and lowest neat the edges of a light sources spread.
