Terra Lago by Night

I spent the last weekend staying with friends at their house in Indio, CA. Indio is about 20 miles from Palm Springs on the other end of the Cochella Valley. The house is on a lake and this photo was taken while we sat outside enjoying the night sky and a nightcap.

This is an HDR (high dynamic range) image in which I took three exposures each 2 f-stops apart but at the same apeture setting and then combined the three images.
