Default Night Bench
I was up early this morning, so went to the park at the end of my street with a tripod and took this shot

The sky was quite red, reflected from the city lights, and I played with the levels a bit to enhance the effect.

I thought it looked a bit like a CD cover.

Thanks Leona. I'm glad I had to do a bit of post work... I wouldn't have been hanging around in the park long if everything really was so ominous!

very cool. so now you have a great spot for your album cover - when you find the band, you'll know where to have them stand! It is a cool location and an equally cool photo of it!
