Description: Perhaps the night, with other sources of illumination, reveals something new. Observations from 15 towns in Västra Götaland County on the western coast of Sweden.  In darkness, I am searching for light like a moth. A street lamp, a lit window, a neon sign, or the light of a summer night sky that never completely fades out. And the opposite: the winter days, when the darkness is grafted into days early, days that never really want to brighten up. As I look at the blackened houses, the empty streets, the desolated park benches, the bikes in their stands, parked cars, I get the feeling that time has stopped and the surroundings, now quiet and still, await a new day's life and movements - Jan Töve. The title of each photo is the time the photo was taken. Jan Töve is a renowned Swedish landscape photographer.
