Hola John!

Una toma preciosa y espectacular! Todas las lucecitas intentando ser las protagonistas pero sin darse cuenta que todas y cada una de ellas hacen un conjunto magnífico, que egoístas son :-) me gusta que le hayas dejado mucho espacio en la parte superior hace que la foto sea mas profunda y larga.
Charo a puesto una foto parecida de Barcelona igual te apetece echarle un vistazo.
Un saludo desde Madrid maestro!

Hola amiguito,

Preciosa dorada vista nocturna de Manizales! Me imagino que la razon por la que andas tan perdido es porque te estas recorriendo Colombia entera no? Que chavere!
Un saludo cordial,

Maryori

Hello John,
You did a wonderful job capturing the soft warm colors of the city lights. I like the short dominant leading lines defining the streets and some of the larger buildings. It is an excellent night shot. Thank you for the good note too.
Kind regards,
Betty

Hola John.
Recuerdo que hacen muchos anos se celebraba en Manizales el concurso de Miss Café, muy conocido en mi país, no se si aun se celebra, ya no se menciona por aquí pero muchas de nuestras jóvenes concursaron y algunas ganaron el concurso.
Una gran foto nocturna captada desde un alto POV que nos permite una vista panorámica de la ciudad. Buena iluminacion.
Un fuerte abrazo.

Hello John,
this view looks as if the photo was taken from an airplane! this is the view which we see when the plane is taking off or landing at night... very spectacular sight! I like the warm colour gamma, the city full of golden lights and life :)
By the way, what are those three white dots in the sky? is it an airplane approaching?
Best wishes from Moscow :)
