Afterglow

Twilight at the O2 Arena in London, next to the river Thames. The night before we saw Genesis play their very last concert there. So emotional for us lifelong fans...just HAD to go. I took some photos of the concert but they weren't as good as last October. Had my SLR confiscated on the way in but still had a back-up pocket camera in reserve!

 

Titled the photo after one of my favourite Genesis tracks. Brought tears to the eyes last night.

 

For those who don't know the original structure was erected as the Millennium Dome in 2000 as an exhibition hall. It was an economic disaster (as only us Brits do) and closed to the public after only one year. In 2007 it re-opened as one of the UK's major concert venues, capacity 20,000.
