Some lovely colors in that Jim. You caught it at the right time, any later and the street would go dark. Hand held HDR too (pretty good!).

Thanks. I had been shooting around that scene since a little after 5am on a tripod. I'm on oxygen and my tank was just about empty, so I decided I got all I was gonna get. But after I folded up the tripod, I decided to grab a few more 3-shot frames. This was the second to last set, at 5:40am. It was better than I expected.
