Like the night colors. Appears to be an interesting place. What camera / lens exposure time did you use?

[fernando_b]

On tripood I suppose, and seconds of exposure, yes? Digital camera?
The blur of the palm upper left is nice.

Hello Manfred. This is a well taken image with lovely colours. I would try cropping out the white car on the left, and see if this image looks even better.

Well done Fred.

Looks like a comfortable place to pass the time with friends and brew.

Thanks.

Manfred -

Lovely -- Nicely executed. You can find places like this also in northern NT and northern WA.

Hi all I like to thank you for your comments those are very welcome.
The photo was taken with a S. Angulon on Provia scanned with Flextight
Imacon. Exposure time was more than 60sec one problem was traffic direct toward the camera I had to cover the lens with my hand a few times
car headlights would have killed the shot. The blur in the palms is a direct result of extreme windy conditions prevailing there ,its very close to the Coral see. The statement on the car has merits , but when I shot this the car also locked the time just the bike in front did not do it. Right you are Allen and that is just what I did I had a few drinks there and yes Stuart this type architecture is prominent all over the north. Wishing all good light
