Light painting at an old mining camp in the Mojave Desert last week. The sign said that there would be rattlesnakes in here, but somehow I don't think the people who wrote that text know that they'd only be encouraging me to go see!
I captured three exposures at 10, 20 and 30 seconds long, used dodge and burn techniques to control the lighting inside and outside of the building, then combined them using the free StarStaX app.
For a spookier version of this scene check out the one I entered in The Art of Self Portraiture group's March challenge, "Instill a Sense of the Bizarre":

I hate to say what it looks like you're doing +Jeff Sullivan ! Reminds me a bit of the "Spirit Shadows" images (Robert Kawika Sheer) only you're not very ghost-like.
Danger. .
Even an old mining camp its beautiful for the light of nights ….
very nice +Jeff Sullivan shared on +Breakfast Club
Thank you for the share +Ambrogio Bellotti!
+Jeff Sullivan You're welcome.
Thanks +Darryl Van Gaal, I liked your night photo ISO vs. exposure time posts, have been meaning to respond but haven't had a moment yet.
Thanks everyone, in case you find it interesting, I've updated the technique description above, and I've also posted an alternate edit here with a completely different feel to it:
