Although nowadays I live in an urban area of my country, I grew up right between suburbia and the mountains, in an almost rural scenario.
One of the thing I miss most from my childhood is looking up and gazing the millions of light dots above me twinkling.
Light pollution is so strong that it can easily change the scenario of your picture even if the light comes from small cities or villages far away. The difference between the picture above and bellow was merely pointing the camera down.
If you look at the starts for a while you might even be lucky enough to catch a glimpse of a falling star.
But in the picture above that is not the case, after I took the picture and looked at the LCD on the back of the camera I noticed the light trace. When I looked up to check the sky I saw it in the midst of a million other, moving across the night sky slowly. It was probably a satellite or the international space station.
I would have never noticed the "moving star" if not for the picture...of course it's all luck :)
