Overview
An LED sphere on a granite rise above a mountain lake, showing the surface of the moon, doubled in the still water.
Some landmarks belong to a view rather than a street. On a granite rise above a mountain lake, an LED sphere carries the surface of the moon: craters, gray plains, the soft edge where light gives way to shadow. At blue hour it sits between the real peaks and its own reflection. After dark, brightness is held low and warm, set for the lakeshore rather than the road.
