This picture was taken close to the Excel centre a couple of days before the G20 summit. I waited for the sunset in the Caribbean Scene, a local restaurant worth the visit with the added magic of a view like this.
During the summit locals had to contend with having to park their cars blocks away. Proving they lived in the area by carrying several forms of identity (one was not enough). Local restaurants and businesses were ordered to close. Although paid a fee as compensation, they initially thought the summit would be a boost in income.

Lovely picture
Thank you

It's pretty. Bummer about the "storm." I'm guessing the officials were worried about security in so many places. If people could just be nice...
Beautiful!

Two astonishing cityscapes in a week and both so different. The sky is sensational wuth those hot overtones on the coll still water.
