Default Grand Rapids Sunset

This was a timed exposure take out of our hotel window in Grand Rapids, MI. Incidentally, if you are ever in Michigan and want to find a cool city with many great photos waiting to be taken, go to Grand Rapids. The city is gorgeous. I only wish I had more time there.

I also wish that my fiancee hadn't turned on one of the lights in the room while I was taking the shot. She has this weird thing about being able to see where she is going... I made a few more attempts, but the light in the sky was rapidly fading and the traffic eased up.
