Quiet, peaceful and tranquil with still air and the sight of the motionless water, this reflection of the River Thames and O2 Arena is like looking into an enormous mirror. During blue hour, the sky begins to darken and the lights shine brightly across the river in a spectacular display of color.

This image of the River Thames and O2 Arena was taken from the Thames Path, which is on the Isle of Dogs. To get this perspective, I stood on the waterfront platform and looked east. While you're on the path, reference the GPS coordinates and you'll see exactly where I stood.
