Big Red Sky

It's been rather grey and cloudy in these parts over the last few days, but that doesn't mean that all fun is lost.  While all of the clouds make things rather bland during the day, they tend to pick up lots of colour in the night.  Over the last few years, the area around the Jacques Cartier Bridge and the islands of Île Notre-Dame and Île Sainte-Hélène have seen the addition of many lights.  Add to that the already numerous lights around the waterfront, including the Radio-Canada building which you can see peaking over the mountain, the sky can turn several different shades of colour.  On this night, there was a little extra blue and red in the air.  The photograph was taken at f/16, 20sec, ISO 100 at 70mm.  I did cheat a little bit by using Photoshop to make the sky a little brighter than it really was, but the cloudy evenings still always have a touch of colour to them over here.
