100mm (150mm equivalent) f/32 ISO 200 13seconds - Pentax D-FA 100mm F2.8 WR Macro Lens

Taken from a pedestrian bridge. I think ISO 100 and a slightly larger aperture would have been better, but I was trying to get the stars from the lights. Taken 1 December 2021.

NIce, I suggest to crop out the buildings at the left and the yellow pole at the right, leaving the gray buildings and the arch.

I really like this picture. Especially the arch and the tall building in the left background.

Yes, but I like that the light trails lead from the corner of the frame. The yellow pole is the edge of a building. It looks like it is made from yellow leggo. The arch is a bridge. The tent-like building is Khan Shatyr. This was designed by the architect Norman Foster.
