Down but not out *

London

Taken outside the Houses of Parliament.

This traffic light had been hit by a car onto the road, but was still determined to work. It was taken through busy traffic on a long exposure, as a result there are reflections of sodium lights, a floating green arrow and assorted trails which I feel adds a pleasing abstract nature.

This is great! The light trails and reflections add tension, emphasizing that something is amiss. --Garrett

Fantastic image, without your explanation it would take some time to figure it out. The longer exposure was a great idea.

Quite a unique find and taken in a pleasing alternative style. Well done.
