Description
My friend Jan and I shared a room when we went to Houston for that quilt class last month. We thoroughly enjoyed the view out our window! I particularly liked the colored rows of lights around some of the building tops. I didn't do that, btw. Something in the way the iPhone 6s works, combined with the bright lights and mostly gray buildings, made this look like a bit of a color pop. All I did was straighten the image and crop it a little. This is pretty much how it came out of the camera.

Very wicked capture! great view
Great city scene & interesting effect - it does look like selective coloring...
What an awesome shot---from your PHONE?? I need to get a new one, I guess!!
A stunning view. Parts of Houston were built on a swamp. My brother lived here about twenty-five years ago and told me it still was. I guess the town grew up.
Beautiful night capture of the city.
Magnificent!!!
Incredible shot T!!!
Outstanding Work,
That is a most beautiful sight. Love this shot, Tara. :)
Your photo is great , of this HELLISH place! Hehe!
Oh, I do so love night photos like this! Sometimes I want to get a hotel room just to shoot photos at night! LOL
What a gorgeous capture, Tara! Sounds like you had a wonderful time!
Big City Lights.... Nice! Aloha
Beautiful capture Tara.
very good shot of the city at night
amazing night shot and fantastic lights 😃
This is lovely.
Claude spoke of this looking like selective coloring, and you alluded to it too---but anyone who lives in a huge city knows that's just how it looks. In the night, the lights are mostly white against black (you have to get close to see the actual colors in these windows), and the tops of buildings are often bright reds, pinks, yellows and some blues: They're to guide planes, and also to advertise. Their hues are chosen on purpose.) The shot is a beautiful night shot in a huge city, and the big black sky makes a beautiful foil to the jewel-like bldgs. Fine work with a mere cellphone! Must've reminded you of Chicago...
