It's 3 am. The streets are empty. Everything is quiet and serene. Maybe the stars are visible and the sky seems endless. Everything is dark except for that warmly lit window in that house over there. You feel a weird connection to that only other single soul awake. The night is yours to own and to experience.

Interprete as you will.

As always, standard rules apply:
  • The photographs must be your own work.
  • You may only submit one photo per contest.
  • No commenting or liking photos until after the judging has taken place.
  • This contest runs for about a week, starting now.
  • At the end of the competition, the judge (last week's winner) will choose a 1st, 2nd and 3rd place photo, providing as much feedback as possible.
  • The 1st place winner will start a new thread here with the topic/theme of their choice, and act as the judge for that contest. (Winner has 48 hours to create new theme, after that it defers to 2nd place).
  • Be sure to update the Contest Master List as soon as you post a new theme.
Contest closes April 9 around 4 pm CEST.

Well, I have to apologize: due to some circumstances out of my hand I unfortunately don't find the time today to write something for every entry, and on the other hand I don't want to delay giving my results for too long.

I thank everyone for participating. I enjoyed all the entries very much and can tell you all met my expectations for this topic.

So, without further ado, the winners this week:

3rd place: shared between @kendallm and @CK Williams

2nd place: @oblomow

1st place: @cjsuk

Well done to the winners!
Lovely pics.

Looking forward to @cjsuk 's competition.

I must say I really like @mollyc 's.
Also, am I the only one who peeped into each window? 😄
 
Oh wow wasn't expecting that - thanks!

Amazing photos all around from everyone!

Photo was of the (one of the) Jack and Jill windmills near Hassocks on the South Downs in the UK. Shot annoyingly with a bunch of hikers in the dark wearing head torches. Nikon Z50 (original one) with Nikon Z full frame 28mm f/2.8 lens.

I'll read up on how to post a competition and get on it asap :)

I love this picture! @mollyc , I would love to hear more about it if you don't mind sharing. Any more context you can give to it?
Oh, there's not much to provide! It's just a random street we were walking past when we visited Munich last year. I liked how the rooms were sporadically lit up and then also with the cyclist coming straight at us. It was really just a random happenstance. But thank you. 🙂
