Finn Reilly, Stairway to Heaven (PEOPLE 2024)

This was taken at the perfect time when it was dark enough for the streetlight to be on but light enough to still see the clouds in the sky. I set up my shot and was lucky a runner came up the hill as the path wasn't very busy. I got a little bit of motion blur because I didn't expect a runner but I think it adds to the picture draws more attention to the clouds in the background.
