Holy ....

Those pictures are top notch. I love nighttime pictures. It seems that you are a true lover of those photos as well. The difference between you and I is that you can actually take great pictures. Let me know if you are ever in need of a climbing partner. Quality photographer/climbers are rare. I will work for you if you ever need a pack mule.
