Midnight marauder by Mark J P

A night time shot of a car wing mirror with out of focus lights in the background, taken while reminiscing about the movie Taxi Driver.  I really loved that movie!

Cardiograph by Mark J P

This is the Twin Sails bridge in Poole, Dorset, UK.  It was due to open a few weeks ago but due to some unexpected complications it has been delayed indefinitely.

It is lit up at night time and looks pretty interesting from across the water.

(FYI I discovered this evening that all of the lights on the bridge automatically switch off at 12am, having arrived only five minutes before).

"Night is the mother of thoughts" by Mark J P

A night time shot of Bournemouth town centre taken a few weeks ago in Dorset, UK.  I find town and city centres feel completely different once the sun goes down and the street lights come on.

The day has eyes, the night has ears by Mark J P

A shot of Bournemouth town centre after dark.  The large balloon is the Bournemouth Eye, which is a helium balloon that can carry up to 30 passengers and despite having lived locally all of my life I have never actually been on it. Taken in Bournemouth, Dorset, UK.
