One evening last autumn I was traveling to our vacation place, got mixed up in trains, and ended up walking from the next town over at night. On open ground I could easily see everything by starlight, but when going through patches of wood, the darkness was so complete that I had to feel out the path with my feet. There were some bird and animal noises, but nothing especially large or scary, so it was a nice walk. Also I saw a meteor streak across the sky! You don’t get that in inhabited areas.
