Bright lights, night lights

Now that it is mid-November, and we have entered into the shadowy world of Daylight Savings Time, my walk from the office to 30th Street Station at 5:00 pm has become a thing of beauty. The sights along the Market Street that are normally dull, washed out, or insignificant in daylight have become mysteriously lovely. To wit:

 The climbing wall at the Drexel gym glows against the dark sky.

Neon signs give up their glamour in the dark (love neon):


The Drexel school of law is humming along with legal energy:


The Drexel school of engineering showcases pipes and fittings and assorted structural elements:


And even the lowly subway entrances seem to be pools of welcoming light:


In 20 minutes or so I arrive at 30th Street Station, where the Cira Centre lights twinkle behind those massive pillars.
