This was my favorite of my street shots. You can revisit this photo in my forthcoming DADA2 completion.

Our neighborhood is filled with lovely trees. This pepper tree was gently blowing in the nighttime breeze.

I met this feisty kitty. When he first appeared on the street, this was the best shot I could get of him. His introduction.

Mr. Night-Kitty didn't want to sit still. He also only liked to play in the dark shadows. However, a passing car forced him to sit quietly in the half-light for a few seconds- long enough for this shot.

Upon some closer observation, Mr. Night-Kitty was super friendly and talkative. He was only willing to pose for 2 seconds of this five second exposure, so I waggled the camera around to pull in some street lights.


ao: not xmas lights

Lights on a railing which were brilliant blue, but awfully bright in contrast to the enveloping darkness around.

Another sidewalk shot which reminded me of the film noir history of this town.

Nice work! I've been itching to get out and take some night shots myself, and this only increases that urge. I really, really like the grid and driveway shots (along with your leading shot of the wall with greenery on top). Lovely!
