over/in/at some place to describe
I'm a non-English speaker and I have a little question.
Let's say I have some paintings and I want to give them a name, what is the most eloquent way of referring to them?
-
"Night over/in/at/other London" - what is the best way to describe the night at some location?
-
"Sunset/sunrise over/in/at/other London" - what is the best way to describe sunset/sunrise at some location?
Solution 1:
"At London" would be a non-standard usage because cities are areas rather than points (you might say "at Big Ben," which is a single location). "Over" works with "sunset" and "sunrise" because these phenomena are in the sky; it also works poetically with "night" in a way that emphasizes the night sky. "In" is also appropriate for all examples (c.f. "A Night in Tunisia").
