What is this 'light' and why is view of it clouded with daybreak?

I've been watching this yellow light all morning.

The first screen shot shows where it is located in context. The second is a close-up shot of the 'light.' The third shows how the spot were the light is located is smudged as daybreak occurs.



Notice how the entire view of that area is smudged now


Can anyone guess about what is going on in these images?
