Weekly Photo Challenge: Nighttime

Kongo

Monkeys like the night so this week’s Word Press Photo Challenge was right up Kongo’s tree house.  The San Diego skyline just after sunset on a clear day is always a great photo subject.  Kongo snapped this image Thursday evening from Harbor Island, just across from the San Diego airport, taking several time exposure images at different exposures then blending them together to make this HDR rendition. Some critics have said the San Diego skyline resembles a smile with several missing teeth.  I get their point but I still like it! See more nighttime images at the challenge page.

Ailsa’s Travel Theme: Height

Kongo

This week’s travel theme is height.  Fortunately, Kongo was atop New York’s Top of the Rock yesterday evening and he took this three-frame panorama of Manhattan looking south shortly before sunset.  The Empire State Building is left-center with Freedom Plaza and downtown in the background.  The Hudson River is on the right.  See more height images at Ailsa’s Where’s My Backpack. Travel safe.  Have fun. Continue reading Ailsa’s Travel Theme: Height
