City Glow - a photo on Flickriver

City Glow

            The glow on the horizon reminds you that the city isn't far away from the farm.  This 30-second exposure (the maximum on my camera) shows the glow of the sodium vapor lights from the city of Toledo past the distant horizon.  This was taken after twilight faded.  I boosted the light to accentuate the city light coming over the horizon. 

I believe that bright "star" is Jupiter.  The exposure is just long enough to create short star trails, which can be seen on the largest size.
