Rainy Night on a City Street

The sun has gone down and most stores have closed; yet with the culmination of the day comes a reinvention of the city. The urban neighborhoods respond to the immediate darkness with bright and colorful lights that reflect as shiny pigments off the wet asphalt. As the afternoon rain continues into the evening, excess water gushes along street gutters and creates large puddles that mirror bright signs until disturbed by pedestrian rain boots and busy traffic that splashes by.
