Thanks, H! You see, I don't sleep much at night, but for all my drifting around on Saturday, the weather was intermittently rainy, so this is one of the few photos I could salvage.

Half an hour before the shot, I was was as a drowned rat, Anne. I was hoping for more clouds in the sky thereafter, to add some drama, but mysteriously it all cleared. Thanks a lot!

Long exposures for you Sal... coupled with the street lights it can produce effects like this x

Thanks Liz! I took quite a few shots that night in Bath and every time I checked the histogram to make sure what I see on the proper screen in RAW processing would be acceptable (camera LCD screen rarely tells the story). If it takes 30 seconds of exposure with the risk of hot pixels in the photo, so be it. I am glad it came out alright.

Thanks Mark! Tis is an iconic spot in the city of Bath, one that many try to capture daily. I thought a good night exposure might just do it justice.
