First Night in Boston 2013

Well, Darn! My brain froze until I saw the photo contest entries

After Dark Theme? I could not think of ANY picture I had taken at night.

Until I saw the contest entries and the colors exploded in my mind and I remembered these....













I hope you guys enjoy them, and I'm very sorry that I didn't help out this time.

New Year, Cold, Winter, Night, all those words would conjure these pictures.

But After Dark conjures warmth, intimacy, privacy, isolation. None of them I associate with these pictures.

My mind works in very funny ways.

If you'd have put one of those in the contest my entry would have finished one spot further down.

...as in "D'oh! Why didn't I think of that at the time!"

Those are some great shots!
