Kinky Scene at Grand Central

Photo date: February 11, 2016. Photographer: Mark Mahin.

The photo below was taken in Grand Central Terminal in New York.  We see what I have photographed here 16 times before: the strange phenomenon I call the light metamorphosis, in which light rises way up from its source, and bends in weird ways. In this example, the light from the TV screens first seems to move toward the huge window, and then quickly "changes its mind" and bends back in the opposite direction.

Pardon my double entendre with the word "kinky," which has as one of its definitions "having turns or twists." The photo was a flash photo with an exposure time of 1/30 of a second, using normal camera settings (no "Night picture" setting).
