A streetlight comes untied

Long white light trails loop across a night scene, with the faint outline of a house behind them.

The building remains just legible beneath the bright scribble. Thin horizontal tracks meet much heavier loops, giving the frame two scales of movement. The exposure turns the street lighting into a drawing without losing every trace of the street.

Mark remembers a quiet Friday before Halloween: a few people already dressed for the occasion, and a fresh covering of autumn leaves. He felt people were saving themselves for Saturday.
