Light & its effects on mood

We all know that light is being a very popular subject of philosophy and physics in the history of research. From A. Einstein to J. C. Maxwell all have been great admirer of light and its mysteries, All of them has their own versions of definition of this extraordinary phenomenon. But do we really understand their interpretation of the true nature of light? May be or may be not....

But somehow this simple light with its huge range of frequencies (i.e. colours) and intensities creates different moods in our mind, thanks to complex human brain. Same sun providing enormous amount of light to the earth behaves according to the angle of incident light beam. You can check by sleeping continuously 8 long hours before waking up in the evening how it feels. It’s completely different from our everyday morning though you will not be tired physically.

Both the photographs are ​​featuring same handicraft made of Bengali Cuisine spices but there essence are different due to the way light affects serotonin levels, sleep cycles, vitamin D levels, endorphin production, and other chemical processes in human body, and how these all relate to happiness, depression, and other moods (1). Thus a plate of Bhapa Ilish tasted in Scandinavia may response distinctly from the place where we generally have it.

From my point of view, this is important to control our mood but where light itself is demanding something else…...Flow with the wind & take a Snap.
