 Lampposts with the setting sun shining through one. Wanted to show a neighborhood where it's too early to move in (no houses yet, but the streetlights are installed...), but those weren't working out. Slight rotation, crop, levels, some saturation, resize, USM, save for web.

I fading light and the light that is coming. Very nice.
Also the low viewpoint that makes the light "stick out" into the sky relative to the sun was a good choice.

Splendid photograph with sky well coloured and contrasted well. Good balance between sky and ground.
