Headlight

This is one of the beautiful historic streetcars that move around San Francisco, this one I believe is from Milan. There are several and they are all gorgeous and I loved to ride on them when staying in SF as we always stayed in Fisherman’s Wharf area where many of these streetcars go to. I can’t believe that I have never published a post about these beauties, something I need to rectify.

Headlight (noun) = Headlamps are also often called headlights, but in the most precise usage, headlamp is the term for the device itself and headlight is the term for the beam of light produced and distributed by the device.

winter sunlight

Winter is all about light and contrast. Winter sunlight is always changing, being weak in November but stronger by February. The sun tends to be lower throughout the day providing good light. Dusk and Dawn can be longer too. In photography look for strong contrasts between subjects and colours. Backlit leaves and flowers, coloured stems of shrubs, warm winter skies and snow. Long shadows. Sunlight sparkling on snow or frost…
