An old (1910s) gooseneck-bracket incandescent street light can also be seen on the pole in the foreground.

For those who recall old street lights there was nothing like the unique whiteness, glow, glimmering shadows and other undescribable wonders of the illumination these vintage lights provided. Very especially their simplicity, solitude and ambiance around them with plenty of snow beneath as in this photo .... priceless beauty whether if it was day or night....
