The series “Lights Edge” features long-exposure shots of light beams slicing through dark landscapes. “These lines mark time and show an impact on the environment, but they’re also mysterious,” says Cooley. (Thermopolis, Wyoming, 2007)

Some of the photos do convey a sense of loneliness but my initial feeling is of a sense of hope for others. The existence of a point of artificial light in a vast landscape makes me feel less alone. Amazing photos either way.
