Darkness

Daylight Savings Time ended about a month ago, and since then, the sun sets at a rapid pace and by the time I finish work at 5:30pm, it's already dark outside. This doesn't give me much of a chance to take any pictures in the day time. There's always the weekend, and I can go out during lunch, but I usually see more interesting things when I'm on my way home.

I've learned to accept the darkness and use whatever light is given to me, and along with the settings on the camera, create a picture.  

I was walking home yesterday and down a street that I'm familiar with. It was cold out and all I could think of was getting home. I looked up and saw this particular house that caught my eye -- I've walked by many times during the day, but a light shining down was bright and illuminated the door. The rest of the house was dark, so only the door was brightly lit, giving it an eerie feeling. I snapped a couple of pictures, and continued my walk back home...after a few steps, I looked behind me to see if anyone was peering through the window :)
