Thanks for the comments, Cindy. To help others see the picture more clearly, it's best seen when the room lighting is subdued and the picture is presented on a dark background. The primary subject is the lights, not the overpass, so the picture is intentionally left dark. Looking at the picture under these conditions, your eyes acclimate and change into night-mode. This is appropriate since the picture is of a night scene. The same applies to my other picture.

There was another perspective where at least 5 of such lights fit into the frame. Unfortunately, the composition would not have been very good from that perspective, and if I recall, there was also an obstacle. -- Victor

Well, I see now why the crop - the bottom of the bridge and the third light. Cindy

Now this one looks like an Alien Abduction site! Interesting. I wonder if cutting some off the bottom (mirror of the top crop) would enhance the connectivity/balance between the lights? I dunno, just a thought. Cindy
