Travel Photo PIP: After Dark

[GilliC]

This bi-weekly Travel Photo PIP theme is:

After Dark

This week's PIP poll stars our favorite night shots! Ideas could include dramatically-lit buildings and monuments, displays of fireworks, moonlit sky, or the elusive* Northern Lights! 


*This week's inspiration. The auroral activity dropped substantially this week, so in spite of lucking into surprisingly clear skies, we still missed out on a good showing on our trip to northern Sweden last weekend.

I so rarely bring my camera out at night!

I tend to be in a lot of the photos that I have easy access to. Deleting later.

This is a view of Dubrovnik's old town as I was walking back from a restaurant.


This is by the Roman amphitheater at Pula.

Here are a few night shots of London from the Eye.

And another.

And a view of the Eye. Pretty classic touristy stuff, but my camera in recent years has not done well at night.

This isn't nearly the best photo out there, but since GilliC specifically mentioned the Northern Lights...

Also fun:

Prague Castle and camping in Moab.

Did you go to one of the performaces at the amphitheater in Pula?  We only spent a few hours there during the day; I would've loved to see it at night.

Thanks, RockNVoll. And now I'm kicking myself for skipping Zanzibar.

In honor of the recent Disney posts, and because it is the last place I visited (in December) - Cinderella's castle

No, I didn't although that would be a great idea. I did, however, go to watch a live jazz band in the "downtown".
