quite terrifying, particularly at night. This striking picture catches the power of suggestion and an image connected with basic anxieties. The subject of the picture is perhaps something that seems benign by day but becomes more ominous under low light or darkness. The photographer has deftly used perspective and shadow play to make an ordinary object or scene uncomfortable. Maybe it's a scary shadow cast by a tree limb or a benign household object that seems especially eerie in the dark. This picture looks at how, particularly at night, our imaginations could cause us to become afraid of common objects. It reminds us humorously of how readily our minds can create terrifying images from peaceful surroundings, asking viewers to remember their own late-night frights and the usually funny reality behind them.
