Nighttime makes specific light sources more important outside. With a city at night as a backdrop, lights are comfort, safety, and pretties, as well as creators-of-shadow and things-which-reveal the dangers of city life.
As someone who's afraid of the dark, I particularly like light. I appreciate the little bits that can be added here and there to make all the difference.
Here's the slice of it:
Another shot:
And the bit I cropped:
The third shot:
And the slice of this, which is a friend of the first slice:
Intersection. Cars.
I think even this pedestrian view is pretty.
More lights.
I like the three clusters of car headlights in the upper half of the picture.
A quieter view.
More lights, still.
A slice of light and color in a dark night.
It's like a core sample of the picture.
A constellation of cars.
Headlights as binary stars. A fun concept.
Like the first slice but with more light things.
A beautiful progression. Imagine it adding more and more of those horseshoe-shaped lights until the whole picture was aglow.

As familiar as I am with that particular view, I was still surprised and intrigued by the cropped images. Very nice focus!
Caroline: Thank you. I like the pixellation, too, and I'm not entirely sure why.
Fizzbang: Thank you! My camera and I had a small talk about what I wanted it to capture before I took the pictures. The rooftop says hi.
El Capitan: Better than a light sample of core?
aaahhh I love the long slices, they're really amazing. bizare, at first, I couldn't tell what I was looking at til I scrolled way down, but really really neat looking. I love how they are all pixelated. (which I don't normally like) but its really cool in this.
