Protection

Another shot from the Thames Barrier in Greenwich, with sunset rapidly approaching there was a good amount of golden soft light to play with, the lower light allowing a decent long exposure time, just showing of a lone section of the river defence, these to me are a very interesting and unusual architectural design, almost space age, and set against some recognisable shapes in the City make for some unusual images when coupled with a long exposure.

138 seconds @ f/16
