The light(s) that guide me


This winter I've been running mostly at night. There's not much to see at night -- with the obvious exception being streetlights.

I now offer my thoughts (and mostly photos) of streetlights.



This old fashioned light provides a surprisingly bright amount of light.



This modern light provides runners with great night visibility.



I took this in West Hartford. They apparently were not satisfied with the old light (background) thus a new one was needed (foreground).



This is just some random light from a parking lot.



Old light.


New light.


A very common light in these parts.


Another West Hartford light. Very festive, I might add.


This is what I call a marker light.


This light is very bright. I don't like it -- it is too bright.


This is my favorite streetlight. It is much more mellower then most streetlights. It is a "light" but it is not outrageously bright (you don't want your street to be too bright at night).
