Week 2: London View

I took this photo a few months ago, while I was studying abroad in London. I had just moved in to my dorm room, and this was the spectacular view from my window. I was captivated by the way the orange of the sunset melded into the blue of the sky - it was almost an ombre effect of afternoon into evening. The streaks of light permeating the surrounding sky looked to me like something out of a Turner painting. It was just dark enough that the buildings and the foremost clouds were silhouetted, back-lit by the sunset, and I thought it created a wonderful showcase of the city's skyline. The whole view seemed magical to me: this was London, and I was living there.
