I was driving home after a late night watching 2 of my grandkids, taking pictures as I went.  I missed my exit and had to go one further. There I saw that the Lowes building supply store, that was closed durring a round of their cutbacks, had the lights on in the old plant/ outdoor accessories area. I decided to investigate.  The store was surrounded by a chain link fence and outside that most of the parking lot was also surrounded by a second fence.  I parked as close as I could get and proceeded to take night time pictures.

About an hour later I was laying on my back my tripod colapsed above me, my camera pointed towards the sky.  This is a 30 second exposure at iso 100, f2.8 with my 28-70mm lens at 65mm.

An hour later I was slipping into bed, tired, by hyped from this happy adventure.
