Metropolis en Aquitaine Profonde

By annettep38  
coming home from the pub.. Well I know you are all spoiled with fantastic night shots from London, New York and Singapore.
Now here is France, namely our rural metropolis, hotel de ville on the left , on the right is the church. Taken about 20 mins after sunset.
As you can see our finest features are the sky and my tail lights. And the butterflies from which I wanted to give you a break Smile

many thanks to Dave, Matthew and Walter for the wonderful awards!

Dave should love your colour combination here - just like his London images only this is
down town Acquataine!
Stellar work Annette and the reflections from your car lights make an interesting extra.
Fantastic sky.

A night in France has all the glow of anywhere else ( except Newburg, PA) which is just plain dark!

A most wonderful image!

I'm very fond of rural France in the evening - love the warm smells (has it been warm yet?). Super colours here Annette.

A fine blue hour photo, Annette -- taken at the perfect time to show off the lights while the sky is still glowing blue.
Nicely done.

A remarkably steady shot as you were coming home from the pub. Lovely colour and it looks like a de-light-ful metropolis (sorry, couldn't resist).
