I have been experimenting both with the use of a prime lens and with night photography. These are very much the mark, it seems, of people who think themselves 'proper' photographers, or at least blog that they are. So I am having a go. Walk-to-zoom is fine, it's what we always used to do, but getting the exposure right at night is hard. I wasn't going to submit this one, but showed it to fellow geographists who assured me it was perfectly OK. I am not saying this is how the view looked to the naked eye, with the depth of field softened by an f2.8 lens. But it might well have looked exactly like this a few beers later.
