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).

There's poetry in them streetlights.
Adam, you could write a book about streetlights. You've already got your first chapter. If there's a book on salt and a book on Twinkies, then there can be a book on streetlights. I like this idea!
I've never really thought about how many different streetlights there are. It must have been fun to run with your camera and look for all the lights.
