AtD translation: the glaring night

[Joseph Tracy]

I don’t think it is anything too tricky.  Though they have taken a canal into a ghostly disused area, they are in a busy port town on a foggy night and the sound is coming from the middle of  the  more lit-up  part of town where there is probably a lot of glare and odd light from the combination of street lights, building lights  and fog.
