Night-time Norway

View on black please!

If you recognise this viewpoint and location then bonus points for you, as you've obviously been paying attention. This is overlooking the city of Bergen in Norway. I love a good cityscape, whether it is at sunset or in the dark, cities can look wonderful. I've called this night-time, although it's also very much in the blue hour. That doesn't give a good aliteration though.

It was only when I was processing this photo that I noticed I had captured light trails from the funicular coming up the hill. It's only a tiny part of the overall image, but I really think it adds to it. You can just make out the very last light from the amazing sunset earlier. This was possibly the longest sunset I have ever seen. I swear we could still see bands of pink on the horizon at about 23:00. In a truly modest fashion, this photo looks tremendous in the lightbox.

I'm currently working on another video, so I hope to get that up before the end of the year.

    I looked at both versions and both have an element the other is slightly lacking .. pink sky in this one and the lights on the hill in this one! Both excellent though.
