During the summer it gets a little to busy for me, but it is very nice there during the Fall and Winter.

Composition-wise, I like this a lot. I'm still new to this HDR thing, so I'm afraid I can't comment about that.

I don't normally like such strong HDR (I know that personal tastes differ on this subject enormously!)...but I think it really works well here, giving an ethereal, otherworldly quality...it makes be think of the deserted seaside town visited by Lyra in the Subtle Knife (Philip Pullman).

Nice job!!

Yeah, I vary between -1,0,1 and -2,0,2. Actually I generally shoot at the later EV.
