In my travels, I have noticed that evening and night street lighting is part of the unique experience for each location I visit. Even within a city, the type of lighting used at night changes depending on the area. Time Square in New York is almost as bright at night as it is during the day, just a different kind of bright. Residential parts of Chicago use softer, less noticeable street lamps. A small village in Scotland might not have any lighting at night except what is in the sky. This lamp is on the Chain Bridge in Budapest, Hungary. The lamps line the bridge on both sides and help provide the beautiful illumination the city is famous for.
IN A NEW POST CREATED FOR THIS CHALLENGE, SHARE A PHOTO OR TWO THAT FEATURE STREET LIGHTS.
Everyone is welcome to participate, even if your blog isn’t about photography.
Here’s how it works:
- Each week, I’ll come up with a theme and post a photo that I think fits. You take photographs based on your interpretation of the theme, and post them on your blog (a new post!) anytime before the following Thursday, when the next photo theme will be announced.
- To make it easy for others to check out your photos, title your blog post “A Photo a Week Challenge: (theme of the week)” and be sure to use the “postaday″ and “Photo a Week” tags.
- Come back here and post a link to your image in the comments for this challenge.
- Follow nancy merrill photography so that you don’t miss out on weekly challenge announcements.

Oh Nancy what a great idea for a challenge. I love your photo too.
One of my all-time favorite photo subjects! I love shooting at night by streetlight. Your shot looks like a gas-light. We have them in some of the ritzy parts of Beacon Hill and Back Bay in Boston.
It probably used to be fitted for gas, as the bridge is very old.
Lights like this at night look so cozy and inviting.

Yes, they do. All of the lighting in Budapest at night is warm. None of these new-fangled LED lights. 🙂
How fun is this! https://wideeyedwanderingspoonie.wordpress.com/2018/08/16/photo-a-week-challenge-street-lights/
I love your photo! Here’s mine https://unexpectedincommonhours.wordpress.com/2018/08/16/a-photo-a-week-challenge-streetlights/
Hi Nancy, I thought I would go with your travel theme for my post. I like the light of Budapest.
Here is my contribution
That’s a beautiful image!
Thank you!
So beautiful!❤️
Thank you!
What a great topic – the lights of a place can tell us a lot about its history. I was going to give you some from London, but then I thought of Spain, and it won! https://travelwithintent.com/2018/08/19/vilafranca-penedes-catalonia-art-nouveau-lights-the-streets/
Such a pretty street light you have. I could not really find any in my collection of photos so used the seemingly mundane streets lights in a local parking light..but with birds on them!
Many thanks for this challenge, for it gave me the nudge to go ahead and edit this photo:https://wp.me/p2owKx-111
I really like the color tones in your photo.
Cheers, Amy
I didn’t spend much time on this week’s challenge but it was for a very good reason! Sometimes grandchildren trump photography! https://pausesandclicks.com/2018/08/22/a-photo-a-week-challenge-street-lights/
a reminder of the darker nights to come – thank you for lighting the way here
Thanks, Laura!
