01:10 - Are we having fun yet?

Why, yes. Yes I am.
I've been waiting to get this shot for months. Full telephoto at 300mm (effective 480mm) on the rise on Blossom Hill where you can see the whole straight length out across the skirt of the Almaden valley. The street narrows to two lanes as it goes up the hill, and it narrows to one side rather than down the middle, so I'm actually standing on the shoulder, though it looks like I'm right in the middle of the street. There's like a quarter mile between me and the nearest part of what shows up in frame.
I like telephoto.
20-second exposure on tripod, taken from my room, pointing out at the end of our cul-de-sac under the orange sodium lights. Taken through the window screen, which makes for some interesting flaring effects around the light sources.
Yes, I realize telephoto is a privilege, not a right. But still.
