Trafalger Square at night

Our honeymoon in January: we walked around London. We exited the National Gallery in the evening and walked by the fountains. London was more expensive than we'd anticipated. We had a bout of food poisoning. And we had a wonderful time.
When I look at this photograph I'm struck by the placement and play of the light. Light from direct sources and light reflected in water. Light is bent with the water as it arcs. And light is diffused in the air, giving the picture an over-all softened appearance. I focus on the equestrian statue, silhouetted against the sky. The rider seems to gallop on air or along the roof line. The perspective and angles, along with the bend of light along the water spout, give the image a collage effect. Positive and negative space are confused: is the inner part of the arc hollowed out? Does it read partially as a bridge? Perspective and proportion are skewed. Tension is created by the rising diagonal, left to right, that the rider describes, which is opposed to the stronger arc of light directly under him. The eye rises and is pulled down at once, as the picture is read, left to right. As the eye follows the arc down into the fountain, there is a feeling of expansion and lift. The eye follows the light of the right edge fountain up and back to the central square of white, where it rests before shifting back to the far left pattern of gold and white checks, formed by the windows of the left edge building. The photo is carried by color: golds and purples. Midrange warms and cools that give the atmosphere a relaxed feeling.
That's certainly how we felt: relaxed and at peace.
We still feel that way.
