Night Lights – Weekly Top Shot #69

Post Alley - Union Street Entrance - Seattle WA

Night lights, creating a sense of safety by illuminating dark areas where one might walk.

Of course the lights and bright neon here at the Union Street entrance to Post Alley,

just south of Seattle’s famous Pike Place Market,

are lit not only for safety, but for enjoyment.

I loved the play of light and shadow,

and the flow of colors reflected upon buildings,

bricks and street.

:    :    :

I’ve never suffered from nyctophobia,

fear of the dark, but many do.

That fear can persist

well beyond the childhood years.

We have two night lights,

one in our bathroom,

and one in the kitchen,

to cast a bit of light,

if one gets up in the night.

:    :    :

There was a time a few years ago though

that I would wake up from a sound sleep,

in a state of being petrified.

Afraid to breathe,

for fear someone was in our bedroom

and would hear me.

Those episodes lasted for about a year

and then vanished.

Odd, don’t you agree?

Do you suffer from odd sleep disturbances

from time to time?

  1. I found you!! Yeah! After you came to visit my place last week and said hello, I wrote you back and asked if you had a blog because I couldn’t find a link to one. Luckily, I just went to Gail’s most recent post this morning and she had your link-up. To answer your question, I like having a bit of light at night so I’m a nightlight person! Makes it easier to find the bathroom as well as it being somewhat comforting!

  2. That’s a neat shot! I sometimes wake up after just having fallen asleep and for a moment feel really disoriented and forget where I am. That is scary! Sleep and dreaming are such strong and strange things sometimes.

    This week I linked up my post on my guinea couple in love for Valentine’s Day :)
