    Honorable Mention

Arched Ceiling Glow is a photograph I took in Canary Wharf Underground station whilst emerging from the tube. Travelling on the London Underground is an enthralling experience, but one shrouded in darkness and mystery. You enter the tube in one world, walk the dark tunnels, and get shuttled to a new world. As you ascend the destination escalators, your eyes slowly compensate to the sunlight glow from above and you enter a new world. The sunlight licks your skin and the cityscape towers above you, awaiting your exploration. The magic of the London Underground never ceases to amaze me.
