Sunshine @ night

One of those solar powered sidewalk lights from the 99¢ store.

They are not even worth 99¢. This one is having its first anniversary (of storage in a drawer), when their useful life expectancy is actually somewhere between one month and one day. After a full day out in the sun and a mere ½ hour after sunset it could cast rays of light a few inches onto a curved white surface that required an ISO of 12800 at f /8 & 1/100th of a second to photograph. I was fortunate that it could still pose for this photo. Another ¼ hour later and it emitted no light at all.
