[Dave]

This past Sunday I woke up early, as usual. A few hours later, noticing that the clock read 05:15, I fixed myself a light breakfast then set off on my usual morning in the predawn in the dark. But I had forgotten to reset the clock to accommodate the new Daylight Saving time and had 30 minutes to kill until the grocery store opened
I used those 30 minutes to take some photos in the darkness.

Here are some pumpkins left over from Halloween...

   

And here's a shot of a favorite scene - behind the mall, featuring strong light here and their revealing the nature of the utilitarian and stark look behind this small shopping mall.

I like them both Dave but the first one has great composition! The second one has a feeling of loneliness.

Thank you Rich.

The camera did a good job in the low light conditions, especially on the second one. I've taken a number of photos behind the mall, and many of them remind me of artist Edward Hopper's style - often quite dark and moody.
