Walking around at night has a way of illuminating things one might normally walk past under the bright light of day. I offer this as a prime example. Street light can shake up subject matter that would normally fade into the background, and the fall-off can add a drama to an otherwise boring scene.

I’ve since walked past this particular guard rail during the day and there’s no way I’d burn any mega-pixels, let alone a frame of emulsion on it under those conditions. But at night, I had no problem hanging next to my tri-pod for the five minutes it took to make this exposure.
