But the light, it's so pretty!
XD

This is really cool though! I mean, really, my mind is being blown

Is that snow on the ground in the forefront of the shot?
I love the amount of darkness you captured here, the way it seems to revolve around the whole piece, from the bottom to the sides to the very top. You can still make out the streetlights and store signs and such in the background, but they appear so dim and far away, it's as if it SHOULD be eerie, yet it's quite and calming -- which is a very interesting effect.

Do you happen to know why there's this seemingly random hallway-like tunnel there? It really looks as if someone took it out of a completely different environment and just stuck it into this new home.
The way it has angled bars, for lack of a better word, makes me think it creates a drawbridge, where it can move it up and down and just shut itself off from the world

I do love the lighting in there though, especially with the lined white, it creates a full atmosphere, and I love staring down hallways where the lighting does that sort of thing. And by that I mean it breaks between light and shadow.

Definitely something that caught my eye for sure.
So great job on that end! =]

Not sure if this falls into 'Abstract' though, per se.
But you definitely did a lovely job in shooting this.

Did your camera have any trouble with it? I've always struggled and wondered how people can take night photos because my camera certainly complains a whole lot about it! XD

Wow, thanks for the comment. This is literally the longest comment I've had. This tunnel was set around a building that was undergoing construction and it was there to protect the individual's going along the sidewalk (now tunnel) from any objects that may fall from above. It had a very strong bright light, and all I did was to expose for the light in the tunnel and everything else was dark in comparison. I have quite a few night/ low-light shots, it's definitely a different type of shooting and there's some things you need to work on and understand about your camera to make sure you get the results you need/want. This shot was more a snapshot for me, but I did have an idea and concept in mind when I made it and I wanted that feeling to come across.
