There's a reason for that title.
This was a 16 minute exposure - and Canon's subtractive noise reduction kicked in (for the first time ever), resulting in 16 additional minutes waiting for that to finish.
Only to find that the final image was ruined by heavy lens flare from a nearby street lamp (yes, I should have seen that before shooting, but the tripod was positioned so low that getting a clear view of anything but the basic composition was quite impossible).
Although such lens flare usually means the photo would end on the garbage pile, I couldn't let it go. So, some heavy duty Photoshop and RAW work later, it's workable - if not exactly perfect.
Anyway, as for the photo itself:
St. Petri Church in Copenhagen's Inner City. This is one of those churches that aren't lit up at night, so what you see is moon light and ambient lighting (and someone - other photographer? - flickering a flashlight on the tower a few times). Some light painting done on the pillar and fence by myself.
Coming up through the cracks in the pavement......
"They took all the trees
And put them in a tree museum
And they charged the people
A dollar and a half just to seem 'em
Don't it always seem to go,
That you don't know what you’ve got
‘Til it’s gone
They paved paradise
And put up a parking lot"

A quick snap of my dad during the snowstorm in the Northeast. I'd like to let everyone know that I did help out with the shoveling after taking this shot! I hope next week will be a bit less crazy weather-wise. Remember to always hope for the best. I love you all!

That tree is there out of sheer force of will or something. Also, notice the nice orange no trespassing sign... =D

Weeds won't give up. No matter how many times, and how often I pull them out, they keep growing again, especially as I don't want to use any chemicals. Well, at least weeding is different from school work - you see the fruits of your labour straight away. I guess I am as persistent as the weeds!
Sempre que vejo plantas surgindo de rochas, penso na dificuldade que elas tiveram para brotar e se desenvolver em um suporte tão duro e aparentemente impenetrável. Morro da Conceição, Rio de Janeiro, Brasil.

I finally have some time to work on some of my China photos!! This gentleman was unbelievable....I was mesmerized by the beauty of his work. I thought it was interesting that he was using a bicycle peddle to hold down his work.
Looks better on Black press "l" on your keypad.
In confrontation between stream and the rock the stream always wins but not with strength, with persistence !!!
My Dali Collection prints "Persistence of Time" Harmon embossed signature & 2 edges
New edition to my Salvador Dali collection.
This ones an "after" Dali lithograph.
I bought it because I wanted to get any of his prints that had this one graphic editors markings , especially the finger print shown.
It was one of three prints that came up on ebay a while ago (from the same seller) -
All of them had the finger print.
I actually was surprised to get this as cheap as I did as seller contacted me and sold it to me as a "second chance" offer.
I lost the auction but he sold it at my 2nd highest bid price.
The graphic editor ( Harmon) got Dali's finger print after Dali could no longer sign prints due to his illness , before death and used them to allegedly authenticate the lithographs.
Actually this shouldn't be considered an "original" Dali litho as I am sure he didn't do anything as far as the production of it ,
including allowing the size changes or additional images added to the original "Persistence of Memory"
