You’ve seen the beach, now the other extreme: winter in Alaska.  This photo was taken after work, in early January.  It’s pretty unremarkable – a failure, by my standards. No detail in the moon, the sky overly noisy…  But the colors are rich, and the warmth of the lights reflects (lightly) off the snow.

To pull this one off: ISO set to 400, white balance to daylight, EV still -1/3.  The camera set shutter speed at 1/20.  If I hadn’t been shivering, I might have worked that to my preference.
