Cool pics! I have been there a lot. That is where my parents live.

Nice light streaks and starbursts in that first shot.

Beautiful pics. That first one blew me away.

Love both those pics, but I'd love that first one blown up and on my wall!

Thanks everyone. You're far too kind.

im curious how you get the 'starbursts'? is it a setting on the camera or photo editing techinque?

what were the camera settings you have for the first pic?

Starbursts are all lens. The first one has a rather irregular pattern using a Nikon 18-200mm lens. The second is a Tokina 12-24mm and makes a nice pattern.

If you want such things, there are filters also that will do it.

EXIF from the first shot:
Camera: Nikon D50
Exposure: 15 sec (15)
Aperture: f/16
Focal Length: 18 mm
ISO Speed: 200
Exposure Bias: 0/6 EV
