City lights reflect on the water

Skyline of Downtown Long Beach

I love shots like this, but it doesn't beat our Yokohama, Japan shot (CLICK HERE). This is a nice view of downtown Long Beach, however the beach scenery is usually more pleasing to my eye.

It's easy to take different shots on the Casio camera, since there are pre-set settings for different situations, i.e. Night time. I have yet to take a photography class so that I can learn the art. Of course, my point-and-shoot camera won't be good enough. One day, I'll invest in a nice SLR.
