When will they start?
By the way, have you tried this one with a slower shutter speed?

@Behrooz: The season of "Varekai" starts here on March 15th, and ends April 8th.
This is a photo of nightfall - the deep dark blues of dusk, with a streak of pink sunlight setting in the distance - why would I want to lighten it with a slower speed?
Oh sorry then it must be the gamma correction on my monitor. I guess it looks darker than it is on my monitor with a reduced brightness.

@Behrooz: If you can't see the different colors in the flags, then yes - it's a monitor variation. I'll take a few more shots with slower speeds, in any case - thanks for the suggestion, Behrooz.
Nice night image - I hope you go, they are OUTSTANDING!

@Jerry: Thanks again Jerry - yes, I'll have to live on bread and water for a month - the ticket prices are steep - but it will be worth it. Today they are rehearsing some of the song and music sequences - sounds wonderful as I cycle by along the lake.
I'm dribbling again at the thought of the Cirque! Hope you get there, you'll so love it! I love the touch of pink in the sky, too

@Bronnie: Thanks Bronnie - it's potentially a murky image - but the pink DOES save it. Thank you for all your wonderful comments. I love those toi-tois ...
