Description There was a fire.

Everyone went outside.

Some rushed.

Some sauntered.

I watched.

Across the street, the lights were on.

And while we were in darkness, that stadium was filled with artificial light.

Maybe a game was going on; I don't rightfully know.

Comments and critique appreciated. (Also, if anybody can think of a better place for this... well, yeah.)

Yeah, I like yours. It gives that sort of feeling of joy you get going to a football game at night and you're ready for your team to win. Very nice!

Thank you! Yeah, the stadium itself looks pretty space-age-ish. In a hideous sort of way.

Have a great day!

sucha cool light! I wonder how much electricity it consumes per hour?!
....looks like humidity was 100% that night.

arabienne In reply to Yassser84 [2007-07-07 22:39:13 +0000 UTC]

Haha yeah the lights are really strange; I'd have no idea how much energy they go through per hour. I'd assume a lot because they're really really big, and there's like... six of them I think.

And humidity in Bahrain never goes below 100% at night. Crazy place.

Well, thankie muchly, Mr Jon. I could name it that, but then I'd always know it was a lie, because that particular light is on the southern side of the field.

This is a really good idea. I wonder if you take it an any other angles?

👍: 0 ⏩: 1

arabienne In reply to zanenkim [2007-04-30 07:21:06 +0000 UTC]

I could, but it would be REALLY hard to get it from any other angle. I took it from a school's playground. There's a pretty big government thing beside it, so stopping on the road elsewhere is a big no-no. And there's nowhere to like, park and then walk over there.

Teh lame.

the bluish tint right outside of the white light is awesome. I love that dark night color.

Thank you so much, that's always my favorite color of sky... where it's not blue, but it's not quite black.

I really like this shot...reminds me of a UFO or something...I expect to see a cow and some hick having his way with the cow being beamed up

There is a tad bit of noise in the lighted area, but you cant help that with such a high ISO...comes with that. Maybe try neatimage to help with that.

Might want to put this in the architecture section? Its man made after all.
