It was a bit of a challenge, finding an image for the Nighttime theme of the Weekly Photo Challenge because I seldom take pictures when the light goes down. This one was taken as night was about to fall, with the mist clearing in the valley so that I could just see village lights on the other side.
Below is the same valley during the day – taken from the same vantage point, but in a different direction – from my earlier post, Picture Postcard Pokut. Between the morning picture below and the evening picture above, the day was a white-out.

Loved the daytime shot the first time I saw it! But the nighttime shot is just magical, especially with the hint of light in the distance. I think you did the challenge proud 🙂
Thanks … although I think the nighttime shot might have benefitted from some tripod work. But I broke my tripod a few years ago and it was quite cumbersome to take on holiday ! One of my mentors suggested that I carry around a bag of lentils for those moments. Hmm.
Beautiful photos. Standing at the top of the world – the perspective is so different.
It was a very special place !
Beautiful
Thank you, and thanks for stopping by.
REALLY love the second shot, with the fog rolling in. First is quite mystical!
Yes, it’s amazing that both pictures look so different – one sunny and the other moody.
Looks like two completely different places!
I know ! The evening picture is dark and foggy and monochromatic. And the morning one is verdant and glossy and sunny.
