Plate 65:  Lighting effects with the Black Castle, Part 1: high-angle view of the entire facade
(This plate added APR 2004)

The two photos below show a formation of toy soldiers passing in front of the Black Castle. The entire facade of the Black Castle is visible in the left-hand photo (the word facade, meaning the front of a building, derives from the Italian word faccia, meaning face). Observe how, in the right-hand photo, the facade becomes invisible when the overhead key light is switched off. Although the displays in the two views are identical, the view on the left might suggest a festive holiday procession, while the view on the right might suggest a detachment of troops marching into battle at night. Here we see how lighting can "tell a story".
