London at Twilight

This is a photo of London I took while studying abroad during this past summer. I sometimes found it difficult to take pictures of buildings in London because the light would always silhouette the architecture and they would all come out too dark in the photos. So this was one of those moments when the lighting was just right and set the right mood (at least in my opinion). The buildings are dim but there are just enough tinges of pink (very slight) and brightness behind the architecture to contrast the coolness of the colors and balance out the image. The colors and lighting create a drowsy "twilight" atmosphere where the viewer cannot tell if the sun is setting or rising.
