Victoria Terrace - Accidental light trail

I felt like today was a good day to post another light trail, this one however is a slightly older one. In fact, this is my first light trail photo, but it was entirely unintentional. I was taking a long exposure shot of Victoria Terrace in the Old town of Edinburgh when I car passed in the street below (victoria Street). I have posted shots of this street before in the past from very different angles. It is a great place, full of lots of quaint but delicious restaurants and the only cheese monger I have ever seen in Edinburgh. There could be more.. but I wouldn't know.

The light trail was a happy accident that got me thinking. I thought about how I could add interest to a city scene by doing long exposures with traffic. It helps give a sense of motion and life to an image and helps add to the perception that you are in a place that is alive.
