#project365 [day 50] Cloudy night in North Greenwich

At the end of a grey dull day walking around London, the view of the North Greenwich peninsula all lit up made for an interesting picture. The O2 Arena has a special lighting scheme during the World Rugby Championship taking place around England. Using blue and white spotlights that move around, instead of the usual white flood lights, these add some interesting color reflections on the Thames. The new towers, that hide part of the dome, are part of the new hotel complex that will be open early next year, and has changed the skyline of that part of town. The green light visible on the  right side of the image is the laser projected from the Royal Observatory and marks the line of the Greenwich Meridian.
