Fine work; the inherent darkness adds to the atmosphere of the piece and helps distance it from similar compositions taken in daylight hours.

Thank you. Something magnetic about that location. I keep going back.

With views like that, I can understand why!

Thank you mucho. My brother says he's seen a large black triangular craft with red lights on the edges, hovering and taking off at breakneck speed, then right angle turning straight up and winking out in the night sky. I've spent my whole life waiting for such a "visit". lol.

I've been lucky to see a few "unidentifieds" over a lifetime and usually with witnesses. None have been the triangular craft, but their performance was beyond duplication back then (late '60's). Quantum-effect technology may be understood, but secrecy surrounding domestic manufacture has to be even more extreme.

The only close enough thing of that sort I've ever seen was a prototype stealth fighter with Harrier capabilities. I was on a switchback road, climbing the n.w. face of the Sandias, my car pulled into a turnout. I had my old Pentax film camera around my neck and I had almost fallen off the mountain (tricked by vegetation) when I heard what sounded like a car. Here, right in front of me was this weird angular craft, flat black in color, horizontal to the ground but climbing up the face of the mountain. I was terrified until I saw a man in a flight suit inside the dark window. No markings of any kind. No Air Force emblems, no "DO NOT STEP" words on the wings, etc. I knew it had to be experimental. A month or two later the existence of conventional takeoff stealth fighters was a big news story. I was so surprised that I didn't take a picture!

Sorry you didn't get a picture. Every once in a while luck smiles and you get to see something rare or baffling. In the eastern sky over Las Vegas there were a few nights of Leonid meteorites and then one night a really bright one hit the atmosphere, flared up, slowed down, the sparks subsided to a small, faintly lit orange sphere moving westward at about the same speed as a jetliner. I watched it with a set of 16x80 binoculars that sharply resolved the arc-edge. After crossing the valley, it made a 30 degree, zero-radius turn and accelerated from view with an impressive second derivative as it passed above Area 51. It was a long way off so size and elevation were unknown. There's always someone with a bigger or more advanced toy.

It's almost a given that something entering our atmosphere will be spotted by someone.(in the dark) We've had so much wind and driven debris that folks are finding it hard to breathe. That first days' wind became the deadly tornadoes further East.

great night shot, the dark yet clear atmosphere dies the trick!

I've taken a lot of shots at this site. This became a fave of mine because of the jet.

I love nighttime. Sunshine actually makes me depressed. LOL! It's true.

So does that make you a "night-owl"? I like both day and night, the same way I like both dogs and cats. They're just different, one not better than the other.

Yes, I am a night owl

Way back in the misty past (early 70's) I worked the graveyard shift at the main p.o. in Chicago. It was already dark when I woke up, took the El train to work, and I only saw half an hour of daylight on the train back home.(7 a.m.) I slept all the time, never went out.
I got really pale and kinda weird. I think I need some daylight every day. Although I must admit that sometimes, I'm a little disappointed when the sun comes up. ha.

Thank you.
I know that the flight path wasn't really as straight down as it appears, that's just the result of the camera being aimed up the mountain, but still I can't help but wonder....
"where they going?"
