Good grief, read the article. The author of the image explains how he captured the image.
But you still think someone is attempting to con you. Amazing!

""The featured image was taken in two stages: the foreground was captured during the evening blue hour, while the background was acquired from the same location later that night.""

Tell me, obtaining the image in two stages as described above, would that not include layers/overlaying or some type of manipulation of the images?

Did you not read the article? Ya still think someone is attempting to fool ya?
