Taken just before dawn. When I arrived there were far more stars out, but I was only able to take some test shots at high ISO before the fog moved in. Luckily I got a clear patch before the dawn was too bright and was able to preserve some of the brightest stars.

I like the overall scene and that I can see stars. Tough exposure to do. The beacon itself is a bit more of a blob than I think is attractive. Possibly covering that for part of the exposure would have brought it more into line with the exposure for the rest of the scene. Much to like here, though.
