  23. I love the clean, rich colour in your photo...better than life somehow!! And for nighttime, there is so much light...we can see everything! How do you do it?? I still think you should go to the cemetery...go on James, you can do it...be brave!! Would so love to see the cemetery at night shots...spooky fun and potentially very interesting...especially as see through your eyes! Take care, Cat

  26. James, how odd that we remember the same tornado! We were in the terminal waiting for a flight to Panama, having come in from Portland, when the sky got very dark and we could see the warnings on the news channel in the airport. It poured rain, but the twister passed elsewhere. The passengers were ushered downstairs and of course I was looking at all the tall panes of glass and wondering what would happen if the winds came our way. I got distracted before I finished the links. So, I'm about to link now :)

  27. Adorable street scene!
    have a nice weekend:)

    ReplyDelete
  28. The subtle reflections combined with the shadows makes a lovely night scene!
    Someone mentioned the kitchen sign. I noticed it right away for those wonderful shadows.
    As always James a wonderful shot.

  29. Ładne, szkoda tylko, że samochód ucięty... ;)
    Pozdrawiam Marcin.

  30. Looks like a nice town James. I love the shop sign - nice shadow of the fork and spoon. Have a nice weekend.

    ReplyDelete
  31. Gorgeous shot! I put my link in, and when I came back I saw the greenish oval between the power lines and the street sign. Is it a UFO, or is there a more prosaic explanation?

    ReplyDelete
  32. If it weren't for the modern car, you could be forgiven for thinking it was straight out of the 1920's or 30's. It has that feel to it.
    How do night shots come out so clear and unfuzzy? GReat shot.
    Enjoy your weekend.☺

  33. Wonderful shot. Lots of reflections, but I love the one in the cafe window.

    ReplyDelete
  34. Nice. I do hope no one took off with the chairs, though!

    ReplyDelete
  35. All the linear elements play so well here. And is that a little lady in bright blue pants way down at the end of the street? Love all the movement created by the broad perspective, the light and shadows, and the reflections. I feel like I could step right into the scene. Great composition.

    ReplyDelete
  36. I love night shots and yours are stunning. My point and shoot is not quite as capable as yours, but then it may be partially my fault too. :-)

    ReplyDelete
  37. Today's photo has a very "film noir" feel to it.

    ReplyDelete
  38. It's nice seeing a reflection from the night view :) I don't go out at night very often...nearly ever, now. I used to when I was younger but after raising the kiddo's, working and taking care of home life...I am just pooped out at night :)

    ReplyDelete
  39. Tripod, of course... Thanks for the tip and for the photograph adress : I'll ask him what settings he used to get his wonderful night shot...

    ReplyDelete
  40. What a lovely place to be in the night with a camera ;-)

    ReplyDelete
  41. How rude of me, James! I was here much earlier to link my reflections, but it was so late at night for me that I overlooked to leave you a note. You're really into the night shots, but I can see why: they are coming out so well! Good reflection here!

    ReplyDelete
  42. Sorry I am late commenting James, because of our moving we are quite busy these days. I love the night shot you show us here. Have a nice weekend.

    ReplyDelete

  44. Lovely shot. Reminds me of our "Old Town" area here in Alexandria VA. This is my first time posting a Weekend Reflection, but I've been lurking for a while!

    ReplyDelete
  45. I really like the way it is elongated and narrowed.

    ReplyDelete
  46. Great night shot. I love the angle and the stretched effect. It makes an ordinary street look exciting and mysterious. Nice!

    ReplyDelete
  47. I'm waiting winter with early nights for night shoot.
    Even fork and spoon ;-)

    ReplyDelete
  48. I love night shots too (just wish I was better at taking them!)

    ReplyDelete
  49. Oh ! Magnifique reflet. Tu as toujours de belles photos, James.

    ReplyDelete
  50. I really like this shot! I'm just beginning to get into some night time photography using my tripod. Lots of fun! ~ Thanks for hosting!

  51. Beautiful, James! A night reflection is not that commun actually.

    (I posted mine Friday, but I've been away so I entered your list just now.)

  53. I really liked this photo. It seems like the street is indeed alive!

    ReplyDelete
  54. Love this! It's got that Humphrey Bogart feel, too, don't you think?

    ReplyDelete
  55. A lovely shot! So very much to see and enjoy.
