We've covered light graffiti before, the photographic art of creating designs or writing with the use of a small, rapidly moving light source in a dark setting, yet it still continues to fascinate us as well as the rest of the photo-intrigued blogosphere.
Although this image looks like a bunch of stick men are playing a round of night basketball on a dimly lit court, there was likely nothing present in reality save for a digital SLR camera and a Maglite.
I love the author's fantasy in his Flickr description:
Here I have caught the Stickmen playing a game of street Basketball. They seem to behave not unlike humans, but are extremely nocturnal. I have never caught sight of one in the daylight hours.
My studies into the species continue...
**Shot taken with my Special stickman filter. This is what happens to our world after dark. They are invisible to the human eye, but they are there!! I will be building my case against them, collecting evidence night after night! Stay tuned!!
