How come Michael Kenna's nighttime shots always look so bright?

Looking through his online gallery I found this photo: Stark Tree, Banbury, Oxfordshire, England, 1991

I actually know that location well, in fact I know that tree! It's a bit taller now but I've often looked at the same scene and thought it would make a great shot if the light was right. There's a foot path there so he didn't need to tramp across fields to get that scene. I wonder which way he was walking...
