So basically I went out in the centre of Bradford and photographed the spots that seemed to "exude the most life" with an eye on the street lamps and shop signs that would come to light my images when returning after sun down. My point with this I suppose was to present these images comparitvely to say that night time, in all its emptiness, brings out our imagination. We create a fear of what isnt there.
I've lived in Bradford for a few years and haven't taken any pictures here until now. Some of these images stand alone as being quite "distinctively Bradford" in my opinion. What do you think?

as a bradfordian i have always liked views of the city by night - especially when one is looking at it from a distance, all just little lights down in the valley - our northern (hilly) geography is to thank for this - drive down wakefield road after dark to see what i mean
i've always liked to imagine that non-natives could get an objective and romantic insight of the place from these night-time vistas when the place is more empty and open to interpretation.....
((ALSO talking of street lighting there is a great and v.random streetlamp just up from your shot of piccadily (@the junction w/duke street) ))
