I love this. Of course it's different if you're in a dangerous neighborhood, but if you're not, dark streets punctuated by orbs of light from reasonably bright street lights are romantic, mysterious, sometimes soothing. It makes that evening stroll a bit more magical.

I’m the city I lived, the street lamps turned on when they sensed someone in the vicinity and turned off again after some time.

So it’s not actually dark where you are and walking, it’s just dark where no one is.
