Cityscape The not so ancient Pyramids

The not so ancient Pyramids · 04:09 AM

After supper last night I felt the urge to go downtown and take some night shots. Weather was reasonable, just need a new set of ''camera gloves' as by the end my thumb on my camera hand was not very happy at all. Most of the shots are long exposures and in bulb mode with a 'best guess' shutter speed (counting Mississippi's).

These pyramids look almost alien like especially at night. It looks cool at night with changing colors. Actually it is the Muttart Conservatory a place where we can get a little taste of summer / spring all year round.

Very nice! I love the blues and the light streaking up out of the pyramid. Wonderful to view. Thanks for sharing!
