Few light studies

I really like the lighting effect of the sun, here. This one shows how far down the sunlight can go (all the way down to the ground, and about halfway on the wall is when it started to be less shiny. On the right side of the picture where the altar space is, the light is very bright (i will be fixing this to decrease the intensity/disperse the light more), but i like how the roof has a reflection of the light from the bright wall (which does not touch the roof system), making it seem continuous/contingent with one another. This adds to the effect of a light roof/space. This seems to dissolve boundaries and planes, that though the space is physically enclosed, the mind/spirit is not bounded like the line that visually continues up despite another plane.
I hope to keep this effect when choosing actual materials, since foam core board has reflective qualities.

From the sides of the chapel (mostly the west where the sun sets), the light effect would be more like this (left).
The soft orange light adds a peaceful ambiance to the chapel. There is a nice reflection here also, that is very tranquil. I am going to play more with meaningful light/reflection effects.
