Large size recommended: 'The Glow of Capitoline Hill' On Black
This is the ancient Roman Forum, taken at about midnight. The soft glow there is the Capitoline Hill, where Brutus, Cassius and the tyrannicide group went after slaying Julius Ceasar.

Ahhh Rome! I love it there. Everywhere I walked was filled with art and inspiration. One of my hobbies is ancient Roman history, so the city had forever held a mythical romanticism place in my mind. I have a bad (good) habit of circumnavigating structures before taking photos to find the right angle. I say bad because some of these structures are so big that it's a major commitment to walk around the thing. Finally, however, it paid off and I found some wet pavement just outside one of the subways.
That purple streak in the upper left is very mysterious. I don't really remember what happened during the shot to cause that, but it was an unexpected and pleasant surprise.

There was no other light added to this in photoshop.... these are the "natural" orange lights that light up that area at night.

These are the ruins ancient Roman forum at about midnight. You can see the colosseum and the full moon in the distance. Between the 3 exposures, the moon actually moved a few pixels, thus the slight and strange moon-blur...
