Night Photography by FZ!, Spidere, Nan O'fith

FZ!: Most people think DC is a city like any other, but the DC that tourists see during the day is a facade, rolled out by municipal employees at 5:30am and packed away at 8pm sharp. My nighttime photography documents the shocking truth of this city's rich history. Click any of the first 17 pictures to learn the SHOCKING TRUTH.
Nano5th: So, it's spring in DC, right? And there's this whole Cherry Blossom Festival going on, right? And normal people look at flowers during the daytime when, you know, you can actually see them, right? Well, I'm coming up on five years in the DC area and it has become tradition that every year I don't get around to going to see the cherry blossoms. So this year I saw them (and photographed them) at night. As illustrated in the photos, thanks to light pollution (particularly on a cloudy night such as this), it really doesn't get all that deep and dark, but it's still night and exploring is still fun!
Spidere: We took these pictures as we prepared for our Journey to the End of the Night, walking the path deeper and deeper into darkness. As we walked, and discovered, and saw, we knew that it was good. If you look carefully, you may discern shapes which give clues, places which may be familiar. But be always wary of paths through the darkness of night...for who knows where they may lead you?

My favorites are the cherry blossoms at night, and the dangling Constitution. That light pollution shot has *amazing* colors!

Man, why did I vote for this before?
The captions were as good as the photos.
