Another one from my Winter/Spring 2012 photography course.  This was taken looking northwards from Junction 9 of the M5 Motorway on a very cold February evening (the promised snow held off for this session).

The main problem here was that my tripod wasn't tall enough to get the camera clear of the fence and I had to shoot through mesh.   This meant manual focus, a low aperture setting and a fairly-high focal length setting to throw the mesh out of focus enough not to significantly detract from the image.
