I posted a color version of this image on my Missouri-In-Color blog last week...I found the unearthly green of the streetlight a beautiful counterpoint to the pink of the night sky during the snowstorm. I think I was "borrowing" from a photograph by Luc Delahaye...a night shot of some Russian workers waiting for a bus, softly illuminated by the tungsten blue of a streetlight on a very lonely, snowcovered road. You can find it here http://andrewconroy.wordpress.com/2009/10/29/luc-delahaye-winterreise/winterresise_1/ or in Delahaye's book, Winterreise, documenting a trip through Russia during the winter of 2000/2001. As T.S. Eliot said in Sacred Wood, "Immature poets imitate; Mature poets steal."
