I was getting a little slideways in the powder and decided to stop and take a long exposure snap of the community garden in my 'hood.
You would never know it was taken at 2:00 AM.

How long, 6 seconds?

Are you sure you haven't been playing in Camera Raw?

I don't have anything to view RAW in, so this is just JPG at 42 seconds.
The trees in the background were lit up by the parking lot lights.
Here is another one with police blue highlighting the background. Wind was a bitch though and shook the camera a bit and fuzzed things up.

Nice picks. And 42 second exposure?! What was your aperture setting 22?

I went back and looked at the properties and have the aperture at f/5, but not sure that is right with so much being in focus.
Oh, and the shutter was open for 30 sec, took 12 sec to process before I could take another.

I was kidding about about the aperture at f/22. Most cameras don't go that low.
f/5 and f/8 are pretty decent for focal range. It's down in the 3.2 to 2.8 that the depth of field becomes noticeably truncated.
