Night Light of the North Coast 2019: The North Coast at Night

With the year drawing to a close, I looked back through the pile of nighttime images of the North Coast that I’d taken during this final year of the 2010’s. I should write about them as a body, I thought; I could tie them all together somehow. But it wasn’t flowing. I decided I should just show them and let them tell their own stories. I’d already written stories about most of them, after all, and you can find those articles if you’d like.

The fifty-five nightscape images from 2019 were too many to lay out in an article on the page, so I made a tidy slideshow out of them. They’re arranged chronologically from Winter in January through late Fall in December, with the season changes noted in the show. I have to hang my head a little and give you this spoiler, though: there are no nighttime snow pics. I know. I don’t know. It’s cold. I’ll try not to let that happen again.

My son Jerren Wilson made the music for the slideshow. Set it for full screen, put on some headphones, kick back and enjoy.
