This is Third Street in Sturgeon Bay, Wisconsin at a little past midnight on May 5, 2007. The sounds of music from a late-night establishment wafted through the chilly evening air. A moon on the wane watched over the cars cruising the street. An occasional walker materialized out of the darkness, then disappeared down the street.My wife and I like to joke about the businesses in Door County shutting down at sunset with the sidewalks rolling up shortly thereafter. Those businesses that don't cater to the nocturnal don't feel the need or the pressure to stay open late. That a vast portion of the county shuts down after dark helps visitors from cities and suburbs without an off switch to slow down, breathe deeply and relax.
And so we did.

Wanda, thanks so much. If you're interested, I've posted lots of photo taking tips for beginners at my other blog. You can get to it via the link in my sidebar.
gregg, believe it or not, yes, but I do admit I waited for cars to drive through the shot so I could catch the light trails. It was not steady traffic by any means.
Wonderful shot! Man I love the colors in this one. You do great work!
