Stuck in traffic, only time it's safe to snap :D

I like when there is a very bright section of a street coming up but I am still shrouding the darkness. It's like a spotlight is shining so that I can see what is ahead.

Windy winter nights provide nice views for evening hikes

The cold months are here. I took a nice evening bike ride up a mountain and on my way down I was really enjoying the cold blue sky. Something about the power lines and lights against it always gives me the night feeling.

When you're young it feels like you are always at a new house meeting new friends. Hanging out, partying, having some drinks. This happens less frequently as you age up. This was one of those warm summer nights where it happened again for the first time in years. A new house party with new friends and a new view. I remember telling myself to hold on to this memory because who knows when it will happen again.

Our old neighborhood had a loop I liked walking in, especially early in the morning and late at night. This night there were some leftover clouds from the rainstorm. The sodium vapor lights always felt like little safe harbors in the night.

The heatwave from earlier has calmed to a warm summer night. The water on the lake is still and you stand in the dark looking at the lights across the bay. The evening lingers for a moment.

Parking structures are a personal favorite of mine when wanting to experience The Night Feeling alone. Something about the buzz of the lights and the absolutism of the concrete.

Even in a place this big it is possible to end up alone in the night

I confirmed that the rain in Spain does fall mainly on the plain.

The fog makes the already quiet night completely silent. It wraps around you on all sides and you enjoy the hazy lights. Maybe you'll stay outside a little longer than you planned. Foggy weather is a special treat.

Wandering the streets of San Francisco at night. I look across the hill towards a sea of apartments. Each with their own unique story. I think about what my life could be like in each apartment. The nice view, the warm light. I say to myself: "I think I'd like to try living here someday".

11pm. Alone on the beach, bundled up in a jacket, listening to the waves.

Hello everyone, and welcome to TheNightFeeling!

What is The Night Feeling?

The Night Feeling is the thoughtful nostalgic emotion you feel when you drive alone at night, or see a city skyline at dusk with the wind in your face.

It’s a community for the feeling you get when you’re feeling lonely but at peace, thoughtful but melancholy, and homesick for something you can’t quite remember

What should we post here?

I think we should focus on original content (OC). These are images you have taken or created that invoke that night feeling we all love. I'd like to avoid music posts and non-OC as much as possible.

So far everyone seems to be doing all that and enjoying themselves so we'll keep moderation light at the moment. As we grow we may have to have a heavier hand.

Enjoy yourselves, be kind to each other, and enjoy the night.

This would be a list of vetted fundraisers where the money goes directly to people who lost homes in Maui this week. Is that okay for this place or do we want to avoid fundraising type stuff here? Looking for honest thoughts from the crew. If anyone knows a more appropriate place that would also be appreciated.

Looking down Ocean Blvd at 4am in Venice Beach, CA.

High winds from a hurricane fed fires in Maui, HI. A fire swept through Lahaina Town. Once the capital of Hawaii this place was really popular with tourists and locals. I can't believe the amount of destruction that happened in less than 12 hours.
