Imagine standing in complete darkness-- all you can see is the light of the lighthouse in the distance. It's so dark you can't even see your own feet. You hear movement in the bushes right in front of you. To the side of you. What sounds like wolves howling in the distance. Here's a link to some audio I took while standing there so you can get an idea:

You shine a flashlight down and realize all of the creepy sounds are coming from a harmless little bird that's resting 5 feet in front of you. This area is refuge to thousands of nesting sea birds, who are extremely LOUD at night!
Another interesting thing with this shot. I decided to bring out the 50 1.4 to give it a go in the dark for it's low light capabilities. This picture was taken in almost COMPLETE darkness! Exposure settings were f 1.4 / iso800 / 30".
