With a couple of clues guesses have
been closer to the mark.
Kristen said: “My first thought the
other day was a bridge because the small lights look like headlights. But I
don't know why there would be so much light below!”
It is not a bridge, and in fact the “light
below” is thrown by something very like a headlight. 40%
Linda G said: “I'll take a stab at
it today: is it a sports field at night?”
Not a sports field. But it is at
night. 40%
Misha said: “a car driving really fast on a
road at night, so it blurred in the photo?”
You are so close! That is exactly
how the image was formed! But it wasn’t a car. 60%
John G said: “its a street light!!!”
Sorry John it isn’t.
Which brings us to Marcy who
guessed: “A
plane maybe? Landing or Taking off at night?”
As
you know I was in Queensland for a conference earlier in the week.
I
stayed in a hotel in the Goldcoast suburb Coolangatta. Me being me I dragged my
camera gear with me on the off chance of having a moment to take some piccies.
Well
on Monday night I headed out to the beach and turned my camera towards the
lights of Surfers Paradise 20 kilometres away across the bay.
Being
a night shot I took a long exposure which left a streak of light across the
frame.
The bright bar of light is the landing lights of an airliner coming in to land at Coolangatta
airport.
The dots above it are the intermittently flashing navigation lights
I
am not a fan of the Goldcoast. Too much like the rat-race at the beach.
But it does look pretty at night.
