Walking around in my neighborhood, one of the things that strikes me the most is the multitude of floating lights I invariably see. They're just, all around me in the otherwise black night. But they really don't illuminate much of anything, not in the pitch darkness and the morning fog. Instead they just sit there like vigil lanterns, little orbs appearing to float of their own volition. Exactly like the will o' the wisp. Many of the streets are very curved as well, so small walkway lights or garage lights, etc., that people may have in their yard, end up looking like they're sitting in the middle of the road when I'm far away. I like to think they're leading me home but... they might just be leading me deeper into the shadow.
The darker, reddish pictures are the creepy ones of what I *actually* see when I'm haunting the neighborhood, the lighter ones are with my camera's night mode to make it look a little more clear.
I also found 3 deer grazing in a yard. These deer were damn smart, they were standing right in a patch of pitch darkness. I honestly could not see them, I HEARD them snorting and took the picture with my night mode on to bring in more of the light. I actually had no idea there were *three* deer until I got home and looked at the picture. I may just as well have come home and found a chupacabra in this picture!
That deer picture is awesome! I used to take pictures just like this. It brings back memories...
