September '18 Photo Comp- After Dark

[TPC]

This months topic was chosen by our August runner up AB

After Dark

All photos have to have been taken after last light at night and before first light in the morning.
Photos can be of anything at all so this should make for a very wide variety of subjects, there have been some very creative night time photos posted on here in the past so hopefully we may see some of those, or night campsite photos have also been popular.

Remember to follow the rules shown in pink below.


Regards
TPC
