Yesterday we featured a natural light flare, so today we give you some colorful artificial ones. Terecico caught these crazy purple flares outside Seaton Elementary School on Rhode Island Avenue NW. We also like the contrast of the bright colors with the sort of sad solitariness of the scene.

Attention! This is your second to last reminder to get your photos into the Exposed pool by midnight on Sunday. Help us out by remembering to submit your $5 entry fee that will pay for the gallery space at Civilian Art Projects. Any guesses yet on which photos will get the nod?
