The colours and the curves! The colours really make this image special. The royal blue sky, chalky buildings, red and white lights from the cars, and occasional patches of green. These colours all blend together into a pleasing mess of light.

Unlike most pictures of headlights and taillights which are mostly straight lines, the hill and curving road turns the lights into big swooping curves. These fluid curves complement the straight lines of the paving stones and the buildings to add a variety of textures to the picture.
