A street beacon amid the twiggy branches ignites into incandescence when the dim doorway to dusk becomes an evening exhibition of developing darkness.
Illumination from the lamppost rides piggyback on commuting characters whose sidewalk shadows slide out from underneath their steady stride and elongate into the night.

That photograph is amazing. I knew it must be dusk because the light was on, but I can’t imagine how you got that photo. Were you on a ladder, commanding the sky to stay perfectly still for a moment??

That lamppost is on my walking route to and from work. It caught my eye one morning so I took the picture. I thought it looked like that moment just before dusk even though it was actually early morning… Thank You so very much.
