It turns out to be dark very fast in sweden this time at the year the boring winter is coming. I took some photos and a little later it was really dark. I realized I have forgot to install flashlight on my Fairphone and since I did not have any money on my SIM card I could not download the app. So it was a little bit hard walking home since some of the places at the park has no light et all.

Anyway I choose upload this photo since it looks a little bit ghost to me...

Phone is Fairphone 2 with SailfishOS. I did rotate the picture since FP2 sailfishos does not do it :/
That photo makes nice use of the low light/high gain image noise. Does give off a Blair Witch vibe a little.

On the way home it got late and outside the glow of our headlights was only darkness.

Well, time is running out, and I'd hoped for something better . . . But at least it's got a story.

First Friday, after dark.

(They said we didn't need another concert hall and opera house, but five years after its opening everyone loves it.)

The first Friday of every month, everybody and their uncle who's got an art gallery, studio, atelier, or whatever stocks up on wine and cheese and prepares for the crowds of lubricated customers that "First Friday" brings.

Well, that aforementioned new performance venue is in the midst of all that artsy stuff, and it's celebrating the fifth anniversary of its opening, so why not synergize? And the opera house within is opening with "Hansel und Gretel". And we're in the middle of the US. Well, that calls for a bake-off! (Get it?)

Anyway, my wife is inside with her entry, and I'm out with the kids on a beautiful late Summer night so why not capture some darkness?

As I said, I hoped it would be better. I'm not super-fond of the "Dutch angle" I picked. But it's a photo. It's shot on a cellphone. It has darkness. And we're having fun, right? Enjoy First Friday Darkness. N9. Camera+

2. catbus, N9, "Arcturus"


3. nthn, Jolla, "Grapes at night"


4. juiceme, Nexus 5 (SFOS), "Pass U in the darkness"


5. spfoo, N9, "Darkness"


6. pichlo, Jolla, "Messy room"


7. saponga, N900, "Plan B"


8. lal, Intex AquaFish, "Mumbai, as darkness seeps in"


9. mosen, Nexus (SFOS), "I am contrast"


10. mikecomputing, Fairphone 2 (SFOS), "Hissingsparken in the evening"


11. Macros, 808 (presumably Nokia), "On the way home"

And my vote goes to...

Wow! 12 entries this month! Great stuff -- especially for a theme I sure thought would be a challenge at first.

Hard to choose, but I like the pure expression of
