This is fantastic! Good composition, the blue of the blue light sticks out against the dramatic sky. Well done!

I love this. It took me a while to figure out what I was looking at.
That's really satisfying.
Out of interest, did you have to work at making the lit-up light shade at all presentable? I'm guessing it was blown out as much brighter than the background sky, and ended up looking inserted because it's a flat colour rather than with a gradient of brightness.
I didn't work at anything. Was wandering around super late at night (like I do), noticed the light, the moon behind it, laid down in the middle of the street (zero traffic that time of night) and took some pics.
I was thinking post-processing work, but anyway you've answered an unasked question of mine, which was whether it was the moon behind the crossed wires - and, incidentally, nice touch with that!
Oh, no, I didn't edit this at all.
That that must have been a joy to see it worked so well straight out of the camera!
Love the angle and hue. Unique.
