Un arc de lumière

Walking home from La Fête de Marquette festival last night, I paused to take a couple of night shots of a new bridge over the Yahara River. Pretty at night, no?

Here is a broader view that helps put it in context. There are pedestrian underpasses on either side. I like that there are ducks paddling around making it all so real.

Some technical details about the shots: ISO 800, f/6.5 (first) or 5.0 (second), 1/5th second exposure, hand-held. The first was at 155 mm while the second was 52 mm. The Sigma 18-200 lens does have optical stabilization, and you better believe I used it.
