Snow Vista

City lights in the direction of the city of Cedar Rapids stand out brightly against the snow and sky in this vista looking west from the grounds at Christ Community United Methodist Church in Marion, Iowa. Clouds had just rolled in obscuring a previously clear sky. This image, shot around 8:15 PM, Saturday, January 28, 2012, is a seven second exposure at f/5.6, 250 ISO and 40mm focal length.
