The sea of cranes that surround Battersea Power Station create a wonderful light show at night. The red safety beams glow in the dark and give this location a mood that's reminiscent of a scene from Gotham City — as if Batman could appear at any moment! Pair this ominous feel with the reflections on the water's surface and you'll get a one-of-a-kind photograph that satisfies any cityscape photographer.
