The police station

I grew up in Risør, a small town on the southern coast of Norway. During the winter about 7000 people live here, and during the summer the population dubbles. We’re talking about a real tourist paradise.
The yellow building is the police station, a building that used to be the customs when Risør was a ”big” port for sailboats.
I took this picture handheld, as I didn't plan to take pictures that night and didn't bring a tripod.

Beautiful colours and very simple straightforward composition. I love the lights in all the buildings. You have done a very good job on the exposure. Need I say more... Excellent!

Cryptic title. Nice picture and well composed. I like it because of the colours, reflections and it's well exposed low light shot. Unfortunately it looks a little blurred when viewed large.

Nanaki says:

the title is perhaps cryptic, but the yellow building is in fact the police station in the town where I grew up. When it comes to sharpness, you're absolutely correct canon350dinhand. The pic is taken handheld, and it is a bit blurred when viewed large.
Thanks for all the compliments!

Heh - you can't post a picture like that with a title like that and not explain yourself! Great shot, though, and the story behind it only makes it more interesting. What kind of place has such an interesting and picturesque police station? Nicely exposed. Nice post processs. I might add a gentle dark gradient to the sky to match the water.
