City of Light by grammyn

City of Light

Thanks to daylight savings time there was still some light after dinner tonight. A short side trip thanks to my wonderful chauffeur gave me this view of the next town.
This is interesting rose toned light! I love the lines of red and white we call "traffic." haha The rolling hills sort of make the far off city look like a castle or medieval. I guess I have been reading too much Game of Thrones!

I had not realized that we just got an HOUR of sunlight. I always focus on losing the sleep in the morning/dark in the morning. Shame on me. It was getting dark about 7 PM now, so now it will be 8 PM. Spring and summer...here we come!

It was so nice to have daylight left when I came home.

@espyetta Thanks you so much for your nice comments! God love you darling we don't get any extra light! We now get up in the dark so we can have light later in the day!

An old joke I heard once says it best. one old Indian to another about DST. " Only white man believes cutting off top of blanket and sewing it to bottom makes blanket longer! ;~}

@digitalrn i am happy for more light at the end of the day but hate getting up in the dark again!

@grammyn Oh yes! I know we don't get an extra light ! Haha! I just meant that we get some at the end of the day...when I can get out with my camera after work and not be going home in the dark. Hee hee! I just did not say that too well! LOL

Awesome, but I don't like it being dark in longer in the morning :)

Isn't that lovely -- rolling hills and then urban sky scape in the background! Very nice.

Fab shot! Is this from the hill we took some shots from when I was there? I got a fairly decent shot of Montgomery that night but you have so much more zoom than mine! Very lovely light!

This looks like a magical shot for the movies :) I just love the sparkling lights of the cars and the hills... so amazing :)

One Thousand and One Nights...I'm expecting to see a flying carpet come over the horizon. Gorgeous colours. What an enchanting shot!

Yes, it's nice to have an extra hour of light. You capture a nice view.

@anazad511 Thanks so much! Are you rested up yet? It took me a long time to get back to comfortable after my recent trip!

Looks a little hazy? I like the golden tones on the buildings.
March 13th, 2013  
@jwlynn64 It was sunset after a day of rain so there was lots of haze.
March 13th, 2013  
Fantastic light!!! and Layers too!very neat composition....discovered you had changed your clocks when I called Matt at 1am!!! oooops!
March 13th, 2013  
Thanks so much. I am glad you like it. This is Montgomery. I thought you changed yours too? Later perhaps?
March 13th, 2013  
Lovely light falling on the city in the photo! I love your comment about DST (blanket). I'll have to remember that.
March 13th, 2013  
@hankinsphoto I'm glad you like the shot and the joke, Steve! It is one of my favorites
March 13th, 2013  
Great colours.
March 15th, 2013  
@peterdegraaff Thanks, Peter! It was sunset so it gave it a nice warm look.
March 15th, 2013  
You and your chauffeur are a great team.

This shot is so lovely. Someone above mentioned a flying carpet and that is so right. It has a 'desert scene' look to it. You were there at the perfect time for the lighting...enough sun to give the buildings a wonderful glow, and yet dark enough for cars to have their headlights on.
I got a giggle over the 'extra hour of sun' conversation. LOL

@pasadenarose Thanks, Rose! I am really glad you like it so much! You have a fabulous skill for analyzing shots. I knew why I liked it but could never have expressed it so eloquently!

Glad you like the DST conversation too! ;~}
