I took the tripod and turned the camera on manual exposure to see what I could do.
This is a 1 second exposure.
Same picture with a10 second exposure.
This is a 2 second exposure(from much closer). I like the
"flares" from the light bulbs.
I looked up through the trees to see the moon behind thin layer of clouds and thought, "That could be a nice shot..."
4 seconds.
15 seconds.(The longest exposure setting.)
About that time a car went by and I thought about stretching the lights from the cars. (I love doing that.)
The street at 2.5 seconds.
A ghost car at 2.5 seconds.
A ghost van at 2.5 seconds.I really like the way the top tail light
puts a perspective on the image and
gives it even more motion
than the single level lights.
You can have a lot of fun with a point-and-shoot camera if you go "off road" and turn off the automatic settings. Don't be afraid to take a lot of bad pictures to get one good one. (I know where the delete button is in my sleep.)

Those are fun John. I'll have to give it a try.
You might have to wait a while for a car on your road. Be sure to bring a chair.
ok so I have much much to learn about cameras... how interesting! on another note, hope you decide to sell on etsy soon... then some of your 100 pots will find new homes!
I also have a lot to learn about photography. Exposure time is just scratching the surface of what can be done. (Someday I hope to have a working understanding of F-stops.)
On the subject of Etsy, we'll see. I'm having a bout of doubt at the moment. I think after I go through my inventory and smash all the ones that deserve it I might feel a bit better.
