if i spend a long time in a place it's usually because i either like it there, or i'm too ill or unmotivated to leave. or, as was the case in tena, because i'm working. despite it being in the amazon the internet connection was actually pretty strong, so i thought it wise to stay and work instead of risk moving. the signal wasn't so strong in my room so i set up a desk next to the kitchen on a terrace/balcony area. it had a view over the whole city, which was pretty on the outskirts and a little ugly in the middle. part of this middle was a fairground which i would see light up and down each night that i was working. before i left i made a point of heading down there with my tripod - and this was the result. i still prefer my german shot i took over 5 years ago, but like back then i still enjoy the combination of long exposure and light.

here's the original
