the way streetlights look

[alpacinou]

Is it correct to use the word "halo" to describe the way lights look in these 3 photos?

There was a thin mist in the air, putting a halo around the streetlights.

Or if I want to describe the streetlights?

The streetlights looked like webs of light.

Yes, that's fine.

 

[alpacinou]

Yes, that's fine.

You mean both sentences?

1.There was a thin mist in the air, putting a halo around the streetlights.
2.The streetlights looked like webs of light.

What are some other words I can use?

 

[Tarheel]

Yes, but on second look I wouldn't say the mist put a halo around the streetlights. Instead, I would say a halo formed around around the streetlights. (Maybe I'm being picky, but then again maybe I'm not as picky as you are. )
