Firstly, my heavily SfØ related blog is up and running. Check it out here:

To get the full niallsb experience, read through the captions in the photos. The captions explain a helluva lot more than the write-up does.

To complete this task, I needed to sneak out of the house because mum doesn't like me staying up so late. She has a point, I guess.

Anyway, I pretended to go to bed. When everybody else was asleep I got dressed into special dressing gown ninja gear:


Then I started on my way. My first stop...



...the kitchen, for some cake.


The first nighttime occurance was that of the bikes that had appeared in our yard. This was unusual because they we're there when I last checked.
Where did they come from?
The garage, probably.
Who put them there?
I have no idea, but seeing them there was a bit of a suprise.


I began to walk towards the towns centre, its CBD if you will (it's only one street though).
I had barely walked one block when I came across a familiar face:

Fergie! What was she doing out so late at night (yes, I see the hypocrisy)! Fergie belongs to my little brother. He's had her for about a year now. She's always escaping and roaming around. I took her home and restarted my walk.

The problem about Stanley is that no "deepest, darkest night" actually occurs. Walking down the main street at night is like walking down it at day, it's that bright. This is mainly due to street lamps.
Another unique feature of Stanley (as if the Gigantic Rock wasn't enough) is that every shop owner leaves their lights on, all night. This would be incredibly risky anywhere else in the world, but Stanley shopkeepers are made of stronger stuff than normal (which is good because their windows certainly aren't!).
I marveled at how easy it would be to smash'n'grab, although I don't think most people would dare, due to the brightness of the area (and we do have alarms, I suppose).


Next notable thing I found during my walk: Interesting seats. We have more than our fair share in Stanley, each a work of art. My favourite seat is the Wavy Seat, situated outside the Town Hall. It really ups the towns atmosphere by being this great piece of practical art:


Other notable parts of Stanley: Its architecture. The Town Hall, Old Bank and the house in between are the best examples. The War memorial is also pretty noticable at night; it is lit by giant green floodlight (oh dear):


When I got near the small jetty, two men were getting into a truck at the shipyard. I quickly sat down on a bench and tried to look as inconspicuous as possible (not easy when you're a dressing gown ninja under a lamppost).

It was when I got to the Mini-Mart that I decided to head back home (my watch also thought it was a good idea).


So, while I have easily completed this task, I realised that I was a terrible ninja: I could constantly be seen at any time. Although if I really wanted to be a proper ninja I would have had to remain in darkness at all times, which means the only place I would be able to go to would be behind the Nut. Uh, no thankyou.


Last thought:
~I took over 100 photos for this task. The only omitted photos were out of focus or blurry (or often both).~
