Strangers in the Night

As the darker evenings draw in, I've taken to walking the dogs along the canal in torchlight.
Went out at dusk tonight and saw the canal, quite literally, in a whole new light....
It was very still and the reflections in the water were crystal clear.
This has inspired me to do some time lapse light painting photography (some time!)

We met some cyclists without any headlights who were quite surprised as I lit up the dogs with a torch, still, saved them from a quick dunk in the canal!

Also came across somebody running home in the dark - didn't seem to be dressed like a jogger. This person passed us, then there was a crash and turned round to see him lying on the path having fallen over. Went back to check he was OK - fortunately he seemed to be, then as he limped off into the opposite direct he turned round and shouted "are you married?"!
"Yes" I replied, then he turned and caried on into the darkness.

This just struck me that it's a bit of a bizarre thing to ask another man in that situation, so seemed worthy of a blog post.

Anyway, hope he's OK and finds an unmarried man a bit further up the canal.
