Lightling

Lightling is the name of a character formed by photographing traffic lights, headlights, street lights, neon lights, or other lights, in the rain and usually night. They appear sometimes tiny, unformed, deformed or otherwise different that what they actually were. These lights often are anthropomorphic, seeming to take on facial expressions, interpreted differently by viewers, but fun and interesting. Unless the photographer what the Lightlings really are, people are not likely to know.
