Toulon is the most important town of my region. It's a military place from centuries and the pier is always full of war ships. We don't go there very often but this week end some friends came to visit us from Corsica. On sunday evening they came back to their home in their island of beauty and so we had to bring them to Toulon so that they could take the boat. We arrived a little too soon and walked along the sea while waiting for boat time. That's during this little promenade that i had the idea of this image.
So today i left the office at the end of the afternoon and drove to Toulon with my camera. This shot was done around 7 pm and the exposure was around 200 seconds. Colors are natural and totaly unprocessed.

Beautiful colors and atmosphere on this one Patrick.. worth the extra trip to come back here. I guess you could see the scene in your mind at a different time of day... that's what most people don't bother with. (Oh, and I hope you meant *20*sec. not 200!)
That is a remarkable photo - the blue is incredible! Beautiful!
Mark, no typo here the exposure was really 200 seconds. 19 minutes before (thank's to the metadata) i took the same with a 20 seconds exposure but colors are not so deep.
Michelle, yes it looks incredible but you should try. You just have to stay around dusk time with a tripod and a remote controler. With the rear LCD on digital cameras it's easy to know when you've got the good one.
A wonderfull collection Patrick, a blog definatelry worth following.
