Ominous. Stariwell and Shadows, Symmetrical Victorian Housing Blocks and Housing Block Silhouette and Moon are especially great. They have a Cthulhu feel to them.

You know, you are right, they kind of do. I tried to describe them, then just erased it.

These photos succeed in catching that weird atmosphere of night, where some of your environment remains unknown. You are partly experiencing your surroundings, but everything is a bit reduced. You are also partly trusting that what you can't see exists as it should during the day.

Lovecraft was awesome at putting bizarre things in those gaps between experience, and making you doubt the foundations on which everything else stands.
