London, UK
It's the ugliness standing stark against the "scenicness" that I eventually focused on here with the foreground and background split. Initially I just wanted the boat trails of a long exposure hopefully leading the eye across to the London Eye and maybe snagging an airline through the sky (which happened!). But then I realized to get what I was initially after I needed to be standing on the roof of the boat station which was not happening that night. I'll post a cropped version of the shot below as what that might have been like but I do like to show here how the mundane and extraordinary are juxatposed out in the world. Also most notably this night was the night of a million stranger photos when over 40 people stopped and asked me if I could take a photo of them on their cellphone which is still the record.
