Nighttime Photos

Ok, it's hard to top the exciting photos from the visit to the antique store, so I won't even try. Instead, here are a few random nighttime photos to help you come down off that high...

In case it's not obvious, here's a photo of a telephone pole. What's less obvious is why I took this photo in the first place. (Though, come to think of it, I guess you could say the same thing about all the photos I've been posting.) Oh, and in case you're interested, this photo was taken back on August 16th, 2019.

 

This photo is of the famous "City That Never Sleeps". That's right, good 'ole NYC! I took this photo on a visit to see Rachael back on August 21st, 2015. Rachael's not in this photo and neither is anything else I recognize.

 

Here's a more recent photo, this one taken on November 12th of 2020. This is what happens when you're trying to take photos of the Christmas lights, while driving through town and fumbling with the camera. The Christmas lights still look kind of pretty, though. So does light from my speedometer.

 

This one is from September 2nd, 2016. It took me a while to figure out what this one was. It looks kind of like my backyard but my backyard is so tiny, I could never get a photo with an angle like this. After much head scratching (mine), I realized, this photo was taken from my upstairs hallway window and it's a photo of one of the many backyards adjacent to my tiny backyard. This particular backyard belongs to a rental property and at the (thankfully brief) time, this rental property was occupied by a group of, shall we say, "rambunctious" college students. Those crazy rascals had a habit of having (presumably drunken) weekend bonfires. I'm pretty sure I had taken this photo in case I needed to give the insurance company an explanation as to why my house burned down.

 

This one's also from 2016. August 26th, to be exact. Technically, it's not a nighttime photo - but close enough for my loose standards. This is a picture of Sam riding the park's mini-train as it passes through the tunnel. Nothing much to say about it. Nothing much needs to be said.

And finally, we'll close with this photo, taken the night of November 19th, 2011. This is a photo of a crowd as it leaves the just completed college football game. You're probably saying to yourself, "You were at a football game!!??? But you hate football!!!!" Not correct. I have zero interest in football, true, but to say I hate football is a stretch. Not much of a stretch - but still, a stretch. Anyway, if you look closely, you'll see that many of those ghostly images seem to be wearing non-football type uniforms, which they are. In this case, they're marching band uniforms - which is the only reason I was there - to watch Jake back when he was in the marching band.

And that will do it for tonight. I'll let you catch your breath and I'll be back with more later. (Probably.)
