Drunkenator Park by Night

Had a bit of a day today with work and kids and didn't get round to the photo part of the day till the kids were asleep. I snuck off down the back alley to the park and took a few long exposures of which i like this one best.

Nice shot - the colours are great, and there's something quite spooky about this photo!

[FunnyFace]

What a great idea for a late shot! Looks fantastic and love the title - how apt!

[andy c]

Great shot Rich... Hmm... not sure about hanging around in parks after dark with a camera tho...lol

[Richard Tyson]

@andycoleborn I know! Heard some voices approaching behind me and turned round to be faced by two coppers on bikes! Funnily enough they completely ignored me.

[Sean O'Mack]

I really like the lighting in this shot. Very nice. Drunkenator Park? But i don't see the drunks! :)

[Richard Tyson]

@seanomack I can refer you to my photo of August 29th. I don't know how to give the link!

[Sean O'Mack]

haha.. i see.. i was expecting a park full of drunks.

[Brad Johnson]

Interesting name for a park... Nice shot. :)

[Richard Tyson]

@bradsworld It's only a nickname! If I knew how to put a link to a previous photo it would all become clear!

[Dennis Natividad]

[robinwarner]

[Dee Pabst]

This is amazing! I love how it turned out in the darkness. It looks creepy and inviting at the same time!

[Richard Goodger]

[Tan man]

[Slava]

I love this one - it's so sharp and clear!

[french_blue]

very nice!!!

[Stephen Smiley]

Awesome work. I have a similar story where I was flying an elaborate paper airplane in a parking lot at 3 a.m. The police made a B-line for me, but when they got close, they laughed and speed-off. Now, I'm never happy to be questioned by the "man", but really my feelings were kinda hurt that I wasn't viewed as a threat to peace and order...lol.

[Carolyn R]

Love this...beautiful - so pristine...except for the bit of graffiti on the yellow walkway to the slide. Colors and lighting - both wonderful!

[Constance Brinkley]

Beautiful park. Love the lighting in this shot. But the name "Drunkenator Park". Why...

[Richard Tyson]

@seattle The answer is in the second link at the top!

[Constance Brinkley]

@rich57 Ha, named after the "big spinner" which is what we called it as kids. Thanks

[Rebecca Doyle]

Lighting is great! What a wonderful effect.

[Bugik]

Wow, love the detail and lighting on this one. Perfect!

[Dorrena Ortega]

Hmmmm .... where's the bottom of this screen? It's so long. ;-)

I really like how the sky came out. It has a surreal effect yet seems real. Nice colors too.

[Richard Tyson]

@dmortega Yeah i think I must have picked up that kind of glow cities have at night. It was actually pretty dark.

[Dorrena Ortega]

@rich57 --- Well that's quite a capture. Interesting color. It's a nice picture. :-)

[Laerke Thorndal]

This is a very cool shot, that big city glow is captured really great here!

[Hillary Torrey]

Spectacular shot!!!
