In our live there are a cycle time that we can divide in two-time, Daytime and night time. Every cycle have an own characteristics that distinguish each other. atmosphere of busyness and bustle is very pronounced in the daytime. Seen from the people that chase their dream activities or just meet their need. that is very different from the night life that tends relax and take a rest. some people spent their night time with a coffee in the cafe or just browsing. some people take advantage of their night time to earn a living through trade.

Darussalam is one of the busy areas in Aceh. Can be seen from the peoples passing competitiveness day and morning. This is because Darussalam is a region that has two major campuses, namely Unsyiah and IAIN Ar-Raniry. There are also schools and offices so many come and go over there. The majority of the people in the student Darussalam is then followed by an adult.

Twilight atmosphere

This time I will try to tell Darussalam particular atmosphere of Simpang Galon at night. Why did I choose Simpang Galon? I think the Simpang Galon is the transition area between the outer kopelma and Kopelma that has a variety of stalls. Starting from services needs such as copy and printing lecture, and many shops and cafes to places such as banks and other supporters of laundry.

As I've mentioned before that there is a significant difference at nightfall. Some of shops that operate from morning will close in the afternoon. This leads to the parking area which originally filled by the vehicles of employees and customers to be empty. The state used by the “Street traders” (kakilima) as their stalls.

Though many shops are closed in the afternoon but still many shops that lingers into the evening. Among them was a copy, shops, supermarkets, pulse counters and hp, bookstores, perfume, and so on. The stores continue to open because of the nature of the goods which is constantly needed.

Waiting for ATM

Simpang Galon area is always visited by people around Darussalam or who just passed by. There is some time in this area that make this place so crowded that when there are big football game match. Whether it's a regional league, cahmpion, until the world cup, coffee stalls at Simpang Galons will diapdati visitors. This will provide a distinct advantage for managers, but there are considerable negative effect that ‘consumed’ the road to parking lot.

In peroses taking these pictures, there are some obstacles that I encountered. because the night time I have to use a tripod to steady the image capture process, otherwise it will be a blur image around. but not all situations can use a tripod so there are some images that blur due to shake.Not everyone is happy shot in public places, I even had a few interrogated.
