Some shots from last weekend. Perhaps a bit more cheerful than my fog pics.
This time I had the MIR20 but no tri-pod. Plenty of other firm objects to rest the camera on though.

Stångån? I walked there on my first date as a teenager Embarassed

Stångån indeed. Not much else in terms of water around here. Coming from Gotland originally, I sometimes miss the coast.

Linköping has an illumination project going in November and December. It's a 5 km walk around the town with different illuminated objects. I have only seen a part of it so far so I will certainly bring out the camera again.

I love your third and fourth shot. For me this is what night photography is about. Plenty of good detail, colour and general interest.
I do hope you will be out shooting some Christmas light photos to show us what can be done.
As I have praised two of your shots I must mention I think the second one doesn’t work and the first also lacks interest

Thanks Rob, and no excuses needed for the less positive remarks either. To me thats whats photo criticism is all about.
With some hindsight I agree that #2 came out rather plain. I still like #1 though. Must have some hidden preference for the slightly simplified shots that doesn't fill the whole frame with details.
I have a combination of #1 and #2 as well, but I'm not sure if it really works.
I will certainly go the "town lights" walk more thoroughly. There is plenty of darkness around, so no lack of opportunity.

I like your combination of #1 and #2 very much, I do think it works but there is always room for improvement.
How would it look with the tree and lights blurred?
I agree simple can often be best but I never even noticed in your first version that it was a street/underpass. The exposure or PP is different and I think the man on the bike adds something to the image, even better if he would have been a few yards further on.
Nice ones a cut above the average

Rob,
You pointed out an interesting difference between looking at a picture with or without actual knowledge of the place.
I always saw the underpass in the 1st exposure because I knew it was there.
It's always good to be reminded of how peoples perception of an image can differ.
I don't think I quite nailed it with the light blurring, although I think I get the drift. This attempt is a bit lame, but more blur made the shot a bit unreal. My skills in PS are limited. I'll probably just re-visit the scene instead and try again.
