The University of Texas recently celebrated it School of Architecture's 100th anniversary and to mark the occasion, they lit the tower orange and the windows with "100". It was a pretty cool sight to see on my way to work. I just wish that when I had gotten there, it would've been a little darker out to emphasize the lights on the tower a little more. I didn't know about this celebration until I drove by and by then it started getting light out.  Plus, I didn't have the time to find a great composition, but I wanted to get a shot of the tower lit this way since it doesn't happen too often.

This shot was processed as usual.  However, this time I downloaded Photomatix 4 and merged the brackets there instead of using Photoshop CS4's merge to HDR engine.  I think I might start using this more because it has more built-in presets for tonemapping and fusion, and it's de-ghosting capabilities are pretty cool.
