I am a huge fan of photography that causes you to pause and just stare into a photo. It can be for many reasons, maybe the photography is doing something different with the subject, with the lighting, or focus. In this case, photographer Jakob Wagner has used long exposure times to create some stunning pictures in his series, Nightscapes. Photographing in Cape Town, Amsterdam and Neustift, Wagner creates a stark contrast between the bright distant cities and the calm empty natural landscape. (Found on The Coolist)
