CYCLING IN THE NIGHT.
The great fascination of cycling in no traffic and in the most absolute silence.

Hello,
your photos looks really magic. I have properly got desire to cycle also once consciously at night through my town.

Greetings, Petra

...Petra, please "do" it!!
Just last night, more or less at three in the morning, ABSOLUTELY alone, I was sitting just in front of the "Fontana of Contarini" in Bergamo.
Almost one thousand years of history in front of me.
"ME" ... and nothing else!!
The only noise was "myself" eating some biscuits!!
Simply wonderful, I love to stay alone, I love "SILENCE".

Especially the lower pic has some sort of a conjuring mysteriously and magically caught of fascination and flair. Stoked! Reminds me to the "Murder in the Rue Morgue" crime story I read long time ago.

During a holiday I drove along the shore of the Mediteranean Sea illuminated by the lone moon in a cold and long fall night. Beautiful scary spine-chilling. Similar arcane and 'torchalicous scenario' as yours.

Dear Conrad,

I loved those pictures, congratulations!

Though I would contend that the photographic interest of nighttime cycling is fairly limited outside towns - landscapes and mountain roads are better enjoyed by daylight. On one of my recent trips I cycled through the night because I didn't feel like stopping for accomodation. It was a memorable experience, but no pictures

Best regards,
Stefan

Hi Stefan,
...I understand you, it happened to me too, I was close to Mainz and that night, I remember, it was rainy, windy ...and very dark!!!
I simply couldn't find a place to sleep so I kept pedalling all the night till sunrise.
Even without pictures, the night might be really fantastic!!
