Night light

Round here they've been replacing the old streetlights, the ones that make the sky glow orange, with what I assume are LED lights which cast a whiter light.

This actually feels a little disconcerting as I have come to think of night light as orange, and now it looks like a subdued daylight. What it does do is make for interesting possibilities with night photography. Especially so when the sky has the old orange glow. 

To eyes accustomed to the old way the night looked it's other worldly. I think I might try some tripod efforts to see if I can improve on my shaky hand held efforts, an example of which is shown tiny here to cover up the blur!
