Photographer's Note
Closer to midnight I eventually have reached final destination of this evening - Tower hill where are located both famous Tower castle (more commonly known as the Tower of London or simply The Tower) and Tower bridge.
Tower castle have been found almost milenium ago (!) in 1078. Until the time of Oliver Cromwell The Tower was a royal residence. At the same time The Tower was used as a prison for prisoners of high rank and for religious dissidents. Those of high rank, including prisoners of royal status, were housed in relative comfort. Religious dissidents were however much more severely treated and were often tortured.
The sky was clear and above castle "shined" full Moon surrounded by stars. Now the Tower is a museum and at midnight it was closed, but for some reason in one of windows was a light. Full Moon and sigle light in window let me fill something mystic.
About technique: I have maden several shots with different exposures for walls, for moon and for stars and then assebbled them toghether in one image to get all details proper exposed.
