On Neighbourhood Watch

The following images are taken in the neighbourhood in Salton City on a full moon night. It ended up being cloudy, so couldn't see much of the moon... so I focused on what surrounded me on the ground level. One of the neighbours has a flourescent light in his front garden which colours the rest of the neighbourhood in this greenish tint.....
