Yes, it's a realy picture. There was a low layer of fog blanketing the city and the sun was rising off to the east (camera left). There were thick clouds off on the distance. The colors are actually very close to the way they were at the time and I haven't cloned anything out of the photo (like streetlights).
The "paint" quality of it reminds me a lot of this photo I took out in Malibu earlier in the year. Also, a real picture and also nothing cloned. The only real "photoshopping" was a some work with levels, but again, actually pretty close to the colors I saw through the lens.
