I love the deep orange hue of the sky. I wonder what the temp was when this was taken. Somehow, it feels balmy when I look at the image.

Enjoy the weekend.

But this is a really nice sky AND picture! I like the silhouette and that you can still see the coloured signs on the buildings.
AKO    Fri, 31 Jul 2009 16:09:07 +0800
Very neat! It looks as if the light is streaming from the Lights building!
RuneE    Fri, 31 Jul 2009 20:00:44 +0800

Rajesh: Glad you think that too.

Regina: Cheers!

Bharat: Thank you.

AKO: Glad you like it. Yes. I really like the light signs. They add contrast and subject to the photo.
