Description
An ordinary streetlight, laid on its side, forms the capital letter "A" in stark relief against a white background. I see a gymnast on a balance beam; others see a man bowing as he invites a woman (unseen) to dance, a woman showing off her purchases to her husband, and someone looking back before jumping off a high diving board. What do you see in this street light?

Nikolyn.... your composition and artistic eye just amaze me. Love this simple work. Well done!! F/L/V
Nikolyn McDonald replied:
Thank you, Maria. I was actually looking for alphabet letters when I noticed this looked like an A - and then that it looked like lots of other things. Fun what you can see when you start really looking.

I see what you see and will add someone looking back before they jump off a high diving board. This is one of my favorite images, so versatile and creative!
Nikolyn McDonald replied:
Thank you very much, Lyric, both for the very nice comment and for playing the game. Hope you don't mind that I have taken the liberty of adding your interpretation to my description. I see that, too.
