Paying attention to the lights

Today is the third day that I've carried the camera around with my on my bicycling travels. It has made a noticeable impact on how I pay attention to my surroundings. To sum it up, I suppose I'd say that it has to do with paying attention to light. I think this photo demonstrates a rich combination of colors and light effects. The view is facing North, with the 08:50 southerly Winter sun illuminating the buildings nicely. I like the way the painted letters on the corner building are casting a shadow on the yellow wall inside the building. There are a few pedestrians out on their morning errands, dressed appropriately for the 50 degree (F) morning air. I tend to notice other bicycles, like the one chained to the route sign on the corner. And another aspect of light that becomes extremely important as a bicyclist is the traffic light. I took this photo just before the light changed, and I continued my ride heading East.
