I simply made use of the wind gust standing at the highest point I could get my feet on, to take the picture of my town at night. With little efforts, mainly being the challenge to hold the camera in hands frozen with wind chill of -20, I was finally able to get the city lights taking the shape of stars.

Hey, they do look like musical notes. Fitting because St. John's is one of the most beautiful and musical cities I know - very vibrant music scene - everything from Celtic, to Jazz, to Classical, to Rock and everyting in between. Great stuff Nonage.

You should've renamed it as City of MUSIC, the lights looks like musical notes!

Interesting :) I have seen some photos like this where the photographer simply kicked the tripod during the exposure to create some nice effect... = 6

Actually looks more to me like the city of eighth notes.....interesting there is blur....like the refelctions in the water and the colors...a white balance option? not sure, over all it looks murky a brown except for all the music going on which I rather like.
