Well I was doing it at speed! I thought there was haloing in the distance and I suppose I could’ve tackled it with luminosity masks in GIMP but I wanted to use Darktable. Its still a great photo no matter how much we mess around with it. I especially like the reflections in the bottom right corner - they almost creep in unnoticed.
Second attempt, replacing one gaussian blur with a more sophisticated bilateral blur:
Did this get rid of the slight halos?

Which spots in the sky?
Interesting variations.
Very interesting crop @alex666
Nice toning @chroma_ghost (in the first one 
)
There is one on the right side at half height, more like a smear. you can see it in Carmelo_DrRaw version.
Yes.
@Carmelo_DrRaw, @bminney, I hope miy halo comment didn’t come accross as rude. It is just that I have been practicing a lot processing lately, where I try to make high contrast photos less contrasty (pulling shadows up and highlights down). And I got halos very often doing that. So maybe I developed an oversensitivity. 
In your pictures it was almost unnoticeable and didn’t detract from the picture.
(Contrary to some people on Flickr who post pictures with terrible halos, and people love them ???)
On the contrary, I hate halos probably at least as much as you do!
That’s for me the one thing that still makes digital photography an awful artistic product in so many cases… so I try as much as possible to avoid halos in my edits.
I struggle with halos and to be honest didn’t really see them until the evening when I had different lighting in the room (we had that rare thing in the UK earlier - sunshine!).
I suppose I’m guilty of trying too many processes at once but I do like Darktable, its very tempting!!
So no don’t worry, I’m a beginner at this processing lark and appreciate any useful comments
Nice photo. I was there a few years ago. I used a few Darktable 2.6.2 with filmic, retouch, and the perspective correction module and a few other modules to sharpen and bring out some color.
That focal length is a challenge though and the building does not have a lot of straight lines.

Nice image @McCap. Here is an attempt using GIMP 2.10. Just used Screen and Mutiply mode with masking and then a slight color toning. It could definitely be done better. But don’t have time for the thorough job.

That’s not fair…
It will be in time for Christmas 
I’m on 2.7 master
It will be in time when there is no bug left
