As many of you know, I am a connoisseur of light. I love love love light. I had so many pictures I wanted to share, but I managed to hold myself back. I took some liberties in interpreting this one. There are a mixture of natural and man-made lights. I hope you enjoy!<\/p>\n<p><strong>Japan<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>I took this picture from the top floor of our hotel in Tokyo. The lights were on and they were reflected in the window, so I got this neat image that looks like a double exposure. It&#8217;s the light from inside as well as the lights from the buildings and cars outside. <\/p>\n<p><em>Light and dark in Tokyo:<\/em><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/jillbertini\/10154851066\" title=\"light and dark in Tokyo by Jill S., on Flickr\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/farm8.staticflickr.com\/7428\/10154851066_2e6deca3f5.jpg\" width=\"331\" height=\"500\" alt=\"light and dark in Tokyo\"><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Here is a shot without the reflected light, of just the cars on the street.

Even though it was a Buddhist temple, it reminded me of the <a href=\"http:\/\/people.howstuffworks.com\/meaning-of-taoism1.htm\">Taoist origin story<\/a>. A version I learned told about a cosmic egg that was broken open.
