You're getting pretty good at these small town street scenes. This one is a little reminiscent of the work of Edward Hopper. Things are different at night, aren't they, when the clamor of the day has quieted?

Nice shot.

Lannie, these shots are reminiscent of my teenage years in a small Georgia town, walking with friends at night  after "they rolled up the sidewalks". You seem to capture mood with your night work that resonates. I really enjoy these.

Lannie,  Excellent, impactful night shot.  You keep it simple and make the mundane most artistic.  I also like your horizontal presentation with the borders.   Larry

Thanks, Jack.  "Nighthawks" it ain't, but I'm glad I got something out of this scene.

 

Thanks to everyone for the encouragement.

I would throw away all my photos if I could create one painting like this:

Hi Lannie,

Wonderful evening colors developed.

A very nice presentation my friend.

Best Regards, Mike

Thank you, Mike.  None dare call them accurate, but on this one I don't even care as long as they appear realistic.
