All great shots, ss you chose really works, looks like they are tilted a bit and could be straightened. Never visited there at night, quite beautiful. Bob

Iconic shot that first one (agree with Bob a slight tilt).

I like your fountains at night. Very soothing shots. Much more so than during the day.

Result of the earthquake...haha.


Fixed. Didnt notice it at first. Whats tricky is everything is in an ellipse shape so things look tilted or off very easily. My first shots at night. Was bored last night so decided to wander around and take some photos.

Very nice shots! An interesting perspective at night. It's strange - because I live so close, I'm never there at night. When I visit, it's a day trip. May have to just stay over for the heck of it one time.

Night time is the best time to go. Everything is lit up and more importantly, no tourists!
