Photographer's Note
I'll post this night experiment, after all that's part of the fun.
The white "6" is the moon.
The double green "6" lights come from the minaret of Hassan Bek mosque, recently renewed and very popular with worshippers. If you look carefully - the minaret is faintly seen in the shot.
Finally, as it is possible to read in the sign: the David-Intercontinental hotel, the most luxurious hotel in town, the one chosen by the foreign celebrities and the very wealthy.
To get the 666: the green "6" is double. Or you can look at the faint multiple 6 formed by the sign of the hotel.
The hotel building is much taller than the minaret, so I found an angle in which the minaret seems to be higher, to place the green lights in the middle.
I tried to follow a loose rule of thirds for the compo.

Hi Daniel,
a cool experiment... A pity there is not another 6 to make "666" ; D
Very abstract... I like the colors.

Oh I like this, Daniel. Very nice experiment. See, the first 6 is single, the second is double, and the third is multiple (although not very well seen). And they together form the "number of devil".
Cheers

Hi Daniel,
Your experiment seems to me to be slightly fantastic, remembers me a book of photography where one was teaching to " to write with the light ".
You have had a great idea, and the result is very agreeable, attractive, with a perfect graphism and a great visual impact. The setting with the thirds works very well, and the only thing that is a bit worrying is the triple one 6, since it is a satanic symbol, he he he.
Great shot, my friend.
Regards,
Josep

I like your experiment, Daniel. Nice colors and nice distribution of the elements in the picture. Yesterday, I was playing with my new camera and also have some crazy pictures. BTW, do you have a picture of the "unmodified" composition ( I mean, with the moon, the mosquee and the hotel)? Yvonne
