When I zoomed in on one of the statues that flank the entrance to the British Columbia Parliament Building, I noticed that it stood inside of niche lined by light bulbs. The scowling 19th century statesman in the niche looks as if he is about to be electrocuted. This image is a good example of how small details can create incongruous meaning. All we need do is to isolate and emphasize them. (I have seen photographs of this building at night, and those tiny lights do serve a purpose – they illuminate the outlines of the building and its architectural features, making it once of the most striking sights in Victoria.)
