Nocturne Tower

This beautiful exposé of sustainable home design is my sister's place near Florence, Colorado. Powered by solar energy, this house was planned by her architect partner and hand built as a labor of love. This is the same structure featured in my "Here on Earth" image previously posted (see comments).

Image notes: My first night shot with my new Tokina 11-16 mm f/2.8. I have to say I've never seen a lens focus so far past the infinity mark. I'm hoping I don't have to return mine to get a decent copy (pixel peeping testing to ensue this week now that I've given it a run in real world shooting conditions). That said having an UWA again is a major treat!

Not an hdr, but I did blend a darker version for toning down the window brightness. The primary light source is a near full moon.
