Midnight Stroll on the Beach
I was talking to a friend tonight online about going for walks after dark and I came to realize that I didn't have any night beach shots. I had laundry I was waiting on before I could go to bed, so I figured I would take a stroll while it was drying. 
Tonight it wasn't raining, and it was a full moon earlier this week. Perfect weather for some night photography. I was really tempted to grab my film SLR, but I don't think I want to wander around town at night by myself with a $1000 worth of camera gear. The baby digital it is! Batteries where dead, grabbed the other batteries off the charger, those are dead too. I guess I wore my batteries out. I don't know why, I have only taken something like 3500 photos with them.
A few guys where hanging out at the park and tried to bum a cigarette off of me. One of these days I am going to try to bum a doller off of somebody that asks me for a smoke. "No, sorry dude, I haven't had a smoke in days. Do you got a dollar for a bus fare?" To bad I could never try it. Oh well, if any of you try it, let me know how it turns out.
Well, it is well into tomarrow already and my laundry is done. So I best be to bed!

Those are some nice shots of the clouds. You had the light of the moon and the city. Did you have to walk far to get away from the lights? I'm assuming you ended up using your SLR.
I walked about a mile from my house to the beach. I ended up using the digital camera. I lightened most of the photos up post-processing as I can't adjust the exposure on my digital camera.
As for the batteries, I broke open a pack of AA batteries I had in my backpack in the car for the last year. I figured they are going to be toast from sitting in the heat anyhow, just as well burn them up in the camera.
i really like the first picture. Nice lights. looks like you have to spend the money on new rechargable batteries. You sure have gotten a lot of use out of that handle digital camera.
I meant handy digital camera. You know me- i never proof read.
