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

Rules:

  1. No bigotry: Including racism, sexism, homophobia, transphobia, or xenophobia. Code of Conduct.
  2. Be respectful. Everyone should feel welcome here.
  3. No NSFW content.
  4. No Ads / Spamming.
  5. Be thoughtful and helpful: even with ‘stupid’ questions. The world won’t be made better or worse by snarky comments schooling naive newcomers on Lemmy.
  6. OC Only. All content should be original.
  7. Photos/Videos/GIFs only. All posts should be photos, videos or gifs, no music playlists please.

P.S. Need mods.

Stille Nacht

That’s genuinely the perfect lighting to travel in any form. It dulls the streetlights, it muffles sound, and you can feel really alone. At peace in your envelope of existence.

white balance is a tiny bit too harsh, but otherwise, yeah

I think if I'd been on a road with cars (this is a cycle path, and the other one to the left is a foot path), it would've been a bit disorienting. I have astigmatism, so lights at night look much larger than they are, especially in the fog.

I used to love getting off the train after midnight and walking the mile or so home in my twenties. Night is so peaceful.

Perfect representation of the community! As soon as I saw it I hoped this is where it was posted 💪
