The lights in the distance are Cape Town. One of those shots where I got lucky with the perfect exposure time. The long exposure really brought out some fantastic colours. Hoping to do all right with this one. My ultimate goal for DPC is taking a ribbon in a free study. Don't know if this is good enough, but lets see.
Used a 3 stop grad filter.
