A few minutes after the prior image was taken, the warm sunset hues in the sky of London developed into some of the most beautiful sunset colors I have ever witnessed in an urban environment.

Knowing the show would be over in a matter of minutes, I resolved to move onto a slightly different composition as to align with Cesar Pelli’s One Canada Square Tower. I quickly readjusted the settings on my camera and captured this long exposure in an attempt to condense in a single frame the wide chromatic palette of that memorable sky and the greenish hues of the fluorescent lights in the office buildings.

Nonetheless, it was the silence, tranquility, and feeling of upmost relaxation that I got to enjoy for some minutes while standing at a stone’s throw from one of the most important financial centers in Europe that constitute one of the highlights of my time in the city.
