On the observatory plaza at the Chabot Space and Science Center, waiting to look through the big telescopes before the fog rolled in.
Title from an old movie -- the print's title is the more prosaic "Observatory at Dusk."

Even with my brightness turned right up, this is a little too dark. I think the concept could have been a good one, but I would have liked to see a little more space, or perhaps a little more sky.
It seems pretty dark to me already, probably a little too dark (at least on my screen) as I can see some of the detail in the large Telescope, but not a real lot, and I feel with it being a little lighter this could have been really good. The red lights stand out a little too much at the moment as well. The left compostion does work well, especially with the red of the su n just disappearing on the right.A little longer on the exposure and this could have been very very good.
