Pictures of lights. Concrete way to think about efficiency...
Those pictures come from my personal photographic work. It's interesting to pass through and questionning: is it efficient ? is it necessary ? is it a shame ? is it natural ?
thanks for looking... to end this selection, a view of one the entrance of the Alpes mountains in Switzerland. To be continued.
