Lens-Artists Photo Challenge 186: “low light”

A day come to its end

Birds and other animals head to their preferred place for staying the dark and dangerous night



The sun says good night to the mountains 

and another actor enters the stage.

 


Nowadays, humans are usually not afraid of the night anymore.

In the city when the shops are closed and only the owner or the employees are in to clean up.

 

At night at the bus stop. No one is around. Everything seems peaceful and silent.

 

When having a walk in the park now, you can enjoy the silence. Traffic noises from far reaching your ear

 

Artificial light. For millennia, fire and candles were the only artificial light source.

Nowadays, it’s different

Especially in the cities, you have a lot of lights turning the dark to the new day


But, after crossing the city limits and bringing some kilometers or miles between you and the city

you can start experiencing natural light again.

Aurora Borealis / Polar light / Northern light

After a dark night, the next morning starts

From dusk ’til dawn, the light isn’t absent. It’s still present, but on a (very) low level.

Thanks, Sofia, for this enlightening challenge this week for The Lens-Artists Photo challenge.

Why don’t head over to her site, look for the rules, and also write a post.

Take care!
