They say New York is the city that never sleeps, but that goes for most city. This is a 15 sec exposure at 2am. It took me a long time to get a shot with no light trails in it, but in the end the ones with the Light trails are my favorite. BTW, this is not New York. (5 years and 2303 days ago)

This is a shot of the canal basin that is in the centre of the main town naerest to where I live. The canal starts here and goes on for over 25 miles. (5 years and 2300 days ago)

A typical downtown street corner in my city. While the brick streets look pretty the light colored ones are horrible to drive on. The city put them down in order to slow traffic in intersections, kind of like speed bumps on a 30 MPH road! (5 years and 2304 days ago)

The Legislative buildings are a landmark of my city, and are even appealing on a wet and miserable day. Rain and miserable days are often a feature of this city in the winter time. (5 years and 2298 days ago)

Nice shot ! But, it's just my opinion, I think it would have been better if you shot the cityscape from the next stake, more or less where the umbrella is. This way, we could see more of the city but mainly, the scooter and bike (which are not necessary in you picture) wouldn't distract from the main subject (the city).

I take your point, but to me the scooters add foreground interest to what is a dull day in the city. The wet intersection of my city is the subject. Without it, there is just some buildings in the distance. Thanks for the thoughts. All feedback is appreciated.

My city operates the largest urban park system in the United States, providing facilities and services at more than 337 locations on more than 80,000 acres (320 km2) located throughout the city.
This park is a hot bed for photographers and weddings. Even my daughter was married here. (5 years and 2303 days ago)
