I was lucky enough to have a hotel room with this view, so I shut off the lights and took a 30 second exposure through the window.

I can only echo the other comments, you must have been over the moon with that view and did it justice with this shot. TFS.

Nicely taken and great image,
Jørn Utzon would be proud.

Thanks bdery! I wanted a long exposure to smooth out the water so that the light reflections would show better. The water there is very choppy from all of the ferry traffic.
