Dancing Light

Sitting outside on a February evening, appreciating the warm light of the setting sun, Shari takes a video shot. On playback, a light can be seen, sometimes a single spot of green, sometimes splitting into several spots all clustered together, an aura around them.

The camera is pointed to the sunset, and the light disappears as the camera moves away from the sunset, but the light does not move with the camera. It seems to have a life of its own.
