Green lights

Last Friday's theme was green. I got the idea of taking a photo of traffic lights when they were green. But it turned out harder than I thought to get a good photo. Looking at the photos, we do not see that the main subjects are the green lights. Only in night shots, we would have bright blotches of green which overshadow everything else in the photo. However, I did not want green blotches. I wanted green lights that could be seen with the traffic lights they were attached to.

In the end, I selected these two photos from all those I had taken. The first one was taken near Queensbay Mall, just before turning at the junction to enter the parking lot. It was in the evening and drizzling, so the sky is gloomy and there are rain spots on my windshield.

The second one was taken on a part-cloudy, part-sunny morning on the way to work. I like the lighting here better. But the background does not look as majestic as Queensbay Mall and the nice little tower opposite it (in the first pic). Since I am unable to choose one picture, I guess I will post both and let others tell me which one they prefer.
