About At the late evening after the concert and festival of Sainta Lucia, the 13rd of December.
I was walking through the beautiful historical city quarter of Stavanger when I came across another pedestrian :-)

To this day, some Scandinavians believe that midnight on December 13th is a time when miracles happen.

For Scandinavian Christians, Lucia symbolizes hope and light in the coming birth of Christ, the Light of the World. The name Lucy actually means "light" and she is sometimes referred to as the Queen of Light. In addition to its religious associations, the festival represents the returning of the sun as days begin to get longer. The renewed sense of faith, hope and growth that the Lucia festival brings is welcome indeed in a land where daylight hours are scarce at this time of the year!

Not a miracle but it was a beautiful surprise that our paths were crossing on the celebration night of the returning light.

Glad that you like the atmosphere so much Ania.
The magic was simply in the air when the cat was simply on the ground,
hugs from Paul

Hi Tomasso,
Happy New Year,
Iso at 3200 is now within the reach with this Nikon and indeed again about the limit as it was just 800 with my previous camera. Too high noise levels are getting distracting for increasing ASA. You are right. I actually need a tripod with low shutter speeds to fight against background noise, but I'm afraid that here I would have missed the crossing cat in almost 2 seconds shutter speed at 200 ASA. No Noise, but probably also no cat :) These animals have no patience.
Whole photographer's life seems to be a sequence of compromises :-)
all the best my friend,

Very nice image Paul, good elements placed well, like the cat that fill up the empty road and also about its color that composed with the whites of the buildings, nice path and also signs, very good exposure.
a bit less noise could be nice however a night shot without a tripod could be a difficult one, no problem for me so...
best wishes for happy new year!
