It was a long day…

Pretty to look at but wish they never crossed a road.

Night photography is something you can learn but usually requires a tripod if you aren’t carrying one of those DSLRs that make fabulous images at ISO 64000.

I hope I’ve made the necessary adjustments and venture out after sundown to see another aspect of the world.

Night and winter is a different animal though and I approach that will great suspicion and care. If I had a sidecar it would be a horse of a different color!

Mind, the same could be said about life itself!

Not to mention, I suck at night photography…..

By the time it was dark it was probably snowing or below freezing and I just didn’t want to take that on with only two wheels. Now, riding in the dark is something I look forward to just like riding in fresh snow.
