Yesterday's /nightwalk/ thread was pretty good. Do any of you have any interesting stories from your night walks?

I don't do them often enough to have anything interesting happen to me, but I did once walk past a local drunk zig-zagging in the middle of the road only to notice that he had sunglasses on in the middle of the night like a fucking Deus Ex character.

Remade the thread to post the proper OP image.

Also, feel free to post pics of your night walks if you want. I don't have any, but anons in yesterday's thread posted a few, hopefully I can link it right: >>85637241

It has been a while, but I liked my night walks to be uneventful, peaceful. Not many good stories, mostly stuff like sitting in a graveyard watching the city lights in the distance, that sort of thing.
One time I did sneak into my college campus's football stadium, probably could have gotten arrested for that.
I did have a moment with a coyote that reminded me of this scene in Collateral. Just looked at each other for a bit before we both walked on.

I wish I could go on nightwalks
there's nothing physically stopping me but I know my parents, who treat me like a child, will get suspicious and start asking stupid questions which will lead to endless arguments and non stop complaining
when I stay inside all day at least I don't draw attention to myself
Maybe when I get a job one day and somehow move out

You could go for night walks late in the evening or early in the morning (before sunrise), it doesn't have to be a midnight thing necessarily. You could tell your parents that it helps you sleep or to start your day.

I think that's what most anons want from their walks. Robots aren't typically the adventuring types.
>>
>>85643052
>late in the evening
I do actually do that, especially now that it getting colder, I really enjoy putting on cozy clothes and walking around feeling the cold wind on my face and looking at lights in the fog
I don't have any stories unfortunately

That's okay. I only asked about that because a couple of anons mentioned some weird stuff in the previous thread, like seeing a lady walking really slowly in front of them or hobos harassing them.
>>
>>85643065
yeah, true. In about 4 years of night walks that is about all the interesting stories I had.
I wish I had a decent camera back then to take pictures of some of the views I came across. Would have been some good pics to post.
>>
>>85643120
I see, a couple of times I came across a boar when I was biking my way home
Nothing ever happened but it was a little stressful
>>
>>85643257
I sometimes like taking pictures with a shitty camera
I think the more effort I put into talking a picture the more I'll feel like I could've done a better job and that's not the point

Nothing really interesting has happened on my night walks except one time i collided with a deer because it was foggy and neither of us saw the other. I screamed and the deer made a weird sneeze cough sound (which i assume is a deer scream) and ran in the opposite direction.
Any way, this ia my favorite night walk song

That is a really nice shot. I don't know a lot about photography but that looks really nice.

Had a nice sunset tonight.

>>85644777
I don't know anything about photography either and that's not the first time someone thought my photo was nice but it's better at night than my older phone

It's just an iphone 13 mini
>>
>>85644799
its pretty but why is it a screenshot
>>
>>85644820
Because 4chan was complaining the original file was too large and I'm too lazy to properly convert the file to jpg.

>>85644819
the two different streetlamp colors. the clarity on one side, the fog on the other. the amber light peeking through the fog. the sheen on the manhole cover. Really good composition (I think that's the right term lol). Either you got really lucky, or you have a good eye for this.

>>85644799
also a very pretty shot. love that pink sky and that ray of light in the center.

my night walks are pretty uneventful, I used to walk 3/4km's to the nearest servo to get some food but they stopped being 24/7 so now I just walk around the block. a couple weeks back i bumped into another guy doing the same thing and we ended up sharing smokes and talking for a bit. my dumbest story is probably me spending the night drinking at home before really wanting a cigarette so i went for a walk and ended up passing out in a bush on the local nature trail, luckily i woke up after an hour and got home, it started pouring the second I got home so that wouldn't of been fun. I also ended up investing in a M65 jacket for my night walks, sadly it's summer so its too hot to wear it but I love breaking it out during the winter for my walks.

>>85642984
my parents are the same but I also just don't care, and say It helps me fall asleep

>any interesting stories from your night walks?
sometimes.
>>85644906
being a lifelong desertfag and going to places with fog was pretty surreal. like 'oh there really are places that look like movies and vidyagames'
>>
>>85642907
Great thread OP, I /nightwalked/ my way to church a few times before, meaning, I walked the entirety of the night from one small town to the other to attend church, my soul and spirit always felt uplifted after such a thing, and it gave me plenty to think about
>>
>>85644799
That's really nice, God is great
>>
I just want to, eventually, stumble upon another fellow nightwalker
I know there must be more NEETs like me in the place I live in... I would love to just talk to people about stuff I like without having to hide the fact I'm chronically unemployed...
>>
What is so interesting about night walks?
>>
glad this thread is still around, good call OP. I hope it inspired someone last night to go on one.

>>85646219
At least for me, there is an eerie calm to it that can't be beat. You feel like the last anon on earth sometimes, until you hear a car in the distance, or see a light turn on.
Urban, suburban, rural nightwalks all have their different aspects. try and find the one you like the most.
>>
>>85646654
>eerie calm to it that can't be beat
i live in the suburbs and sometimes that calmness is painful, serves as reminder of how lonely we are. feels bad man
>rural nightwalks
i think this is the best one. the air feels a lot more fresh and you can stargaze
>>
>>85646705
>sometimes that calmness is painful
True, it can be. But I like that melancholy, depressed vibe. idk, I'm sick like that I guess.
Rural is great when there is just a little light, like >>85645706. Beautiful.
My personal favorite is just off the edge of a small town/city, where you can see the lights in distance, but far enough from the people.
>>
hope you had some comfy walks under the full moon bros
>>
I'll go on a /nightwalk/ tonite
>>
walk was ruined. a fuckin car with someone inside blocked my favorite path. his beam lights were blinding me. and then a fuckin w*man walkin her pitbull showed up. ugh

Nevermind, I sent the image link to chatGTP and this is what she told me;
>Yes I think we can identify this one quite confidently.
>The building in your photograph appears to be Cohannet Mill No. 3, now known as Robertson on the River, at 120 Ingell Street, Taunton, Massachusetts.
>The building was constructed in 1890 as a cotton-spinning mill.Historical records specifically identify it as being at 120 Ingell Street in Taunton's Weir Village, beside the Taunton River. It was subsequently rehabilitated as Robertson on the River, containing apartments and commercial space.

>tfw need to walk home in the pouring rain

Wish me luck.

It a converted mill building in New England. But the rest is wrong.

>>85648220
>But the rest is wrong.
Mmm, a closer look at your photo and comparing it to Google street view seems to back you up. It's a similar building but not the same one.
