a green glowing OPEN sign at night reflected in melting snow.
a very red and somehow very...lonely?...neon sign outside a gas station at night. The light doesn't throw as far as it should.
The slow roiling red and orange flames of a (contained, but otherwise completely decontextualized and free-floating but still somehow...flat) burning propane fire.
glowing rings at night, suspended from gantries, for sitting on and spinning around in and whatnot.
A white neon sign in a shop window at night, with a Pride flage behind it.
a sign reading EMPIRE vertically in yellow letters, in a snowstorm at night.
stained glass windows framing a door a night, amber and teal and amber horizontal panels.
The cage protecting a lighting fixture, lit deep blue and pink from within, at night.
The crossed wooden center of a window. The curtain visible through the window has reindeer and snowflakes on it.
the view from a hotel bed at night, through a sliding door to a balcony and to the grey void of a snowstorm beyond.
The boston skyline at night in very purple fog. The building lights are hazily visible through it.
A diner at night. A neon sign blasts OPEN into the night and off the pavement. The sign on the door says Closed. It is very not open.
girders and X cross braces spanning across a canal. the canal is frozen and show-covered. the beams, similarly, dusted in snow. Only the sides of the girders stand out against the white.
a wrought iron fence outside a gothic church, backlit by fog-diffused sulfur yellow streetlights.
the view down a vehicular river bridge at deck level at night in the fog. The superstructure glows amberish red under the lights.
Some industrial-looking (but not) lights glowing through thick fog at night; the foreground is saturated blue.
An hotel outdoor covered walkway at night, receding into the distance.
A concrete traffic barrier painted in a swooping rainbow, with a precise layer of snow starting to accumulate on its flared base.
A gas station at twilight, somehow from below. The pavement is reflective and wet; the neon from the roof over the pumps glows against a darkening blue sky.
An apartment building with individual apartment windows brightly white, red, and blue at night, with a smokestack tree in the background lit green.
a corporate-ish covered pedestrian bridge with a peaked roof at night. The ceiling beams are mirror-reflected off the glass walls and it looks a bit like it stretches out in a bunch of unnatural directions.
The rain-distorted reflection of a sulphur yellow streetlight in a puddle at night.
a blue salt barrel at night, poised and ready for snow
A utilitarian christmas tree made of a spiral of red tinsel, wrapped around a light pole, in a grocery store parking lot.
the red and orange lit corner of the roof of a gas station filling area at night. It's...moody.
A smokestack at night. It has a white glowing star at its top, and green lights strung in a cone around it: a christmas tree. Someone had a crazy idea once and ran with it and now it’s sort of everything.
an arrow-shaped sign lit with yellow light bulbs at night, hanging from a ceiling and pointing generally downwards.
a very yellow streetlight at night and its shade, seen from directly below it. there is a metal armiture forming a cross across the bulb.
A neon ATM sign in a corner store window at night.
red and orange traffic signal light reflected in the rainwater collected on the top of a large, flat traffic bollard at night.
a highway below seen from an overpass crossing it, through a chain link fence, as the sun is setting.
a view across a bridge from the double yellow line at night. The superstructure is lit an unsettling shade of red.
someone left a light on in a corner store. Looks like late night stove light.
a brightly colored abstract mural painted on the front of the steps of a concrete amphitheater, from such an angle that the tops of the steps appear as horizontal white stripes through the colorfulness.
a (yellowish-orange and underlit) truss bridge support at night. The road surface is rainslicked and empty.
A serviceable but water-rusted flight of stairs in an empty parking garage at night, with a garbage can nearby. brown stairs, white railings, yellow hazard paint. It feels as ancient as it looks.
Lights streaming through a wrought iron park fence on a wet night.
A designated smoking area - A very green bench toplit by a spotlight - at night.
A parking garage walkway at night. It stretches longer than it should.
A library dropbox at night with "please return library materia here" printed on it.
