Good night. . .lights out

Late Monday night I went out and photographed San Francisco's City Hall because it is beautifully illuminated green and red for Christmas Week.
While I was shooting the photos, all the lights on City Hall went off at exactly midnight. . .except for the copula at the very top.
Here is the last photo that I took on Monday night. It’s the singularly lit copula atop the dark City Hall.
