                      Will trespass for enlightened palms
                                        
[Enlightened Palms II] [1] [2] I did another attempt tonight. [3] I found
myself at the shopping center (AFTER 1 AM VIOLATORS WILL BE PROSECUTED) [4]
(you can see my car (Can I really be considered trespassing if I just park?)
[5] in the lower right corner of the picture (AFTER 1 AM VIOLATORS WILL BE
PROSECUTED) [6]) for a second try. I had just parked my car behind a hedge
when just over the top I see the lights of a police cruiser slide by, heading
out of the shopping center and onto the main road; the cop either ignored my
presence or didn't see me, which suited me fine. I grabbed the camera and
tripod and started walking, only to see a security van drive by, again either
ignoring me or not seeing me. 

[AFTER 1 AM VIOLATORS WILL BE PROSECUTED] [7] [8] Other than that, there was
much less traffic [9] this time. 

This time, setting the camera to night scenes, no flash, artificial lighting
and ASA (American Standards Association) 100 the images (Enlightened Palms
II) [10] came out much better. 

It was only as I was walking back did I notice the “NO TRESPASSING” signs
(AFTER 1 AM VIOLATORS WILL BE PROSECUTED) [11] leading into the shopping
center and I had to wonder, Am I really trespassing? Technically it might be,
but I had only used the area to park the car; I wasn't really hanging out in
the area and I did park very near the entrance. 

Good thing I had just missed the cops.
