Very nice shot. I like the composition with Longfellow Bridge in front. Where did you take it from? Looks like you were near the Museum of Science? Is that a train on the bridge?

how long was your exposure? im really new at this, and i know night time photography is a little bit different.
thank you for such a wonderful photo. i would have never of thought to get a picture from a parking garrage.

I used to work at MIT, so the Pru and Hancock Tower across the Charles is a familiar view.

This is a great shot. Belongs framed in your den or on a postcard. I do love Beantown. I think I nearly froze my a** off on that bridge during New Years 96/97:lol: Very nice capture!
