Purple Eye

Back in April I spent a lot of time wandering by the Thames with the camera. I took this shot on a night when the dusk sky was an incredibly vivid shade of blue and when, for some unknown reason, the London Eye was illuminated in purple. The river has been blurred to a glass effect by the long exposure, which was intended to make the whole scene look as serene as it felt in person.
