Downtown Raleigh at night (courtesy of NCDOT)
Earlier this year I actually found a photograph of downtown Raleigh that like better than my own. The NCDOT took this beautiful photo in December 2011 and tagged it with a Creative Commons license. This allows the photo to appear freely just about everywhere. If that wasn’t enough, its Flickr page also lists the exposure information used to take it. Thus, I can go out and take a photograph just like it, which I might do Friday or Saturday afternoon.
