this is one of my favourite places for taking pictures of big ben in london. on a clear evening the setting sun makes the palace of westminster glow orange. And the reflection in this window is always spot on !
i was glad to walk past this location again last night when the conditions were aligned.
apologies for the posting of this photo again, but it is a new fresh one and i love it so !
the great thing about this time of year is that it gets dark early so i’ve been able to grab some nice evening sunlight shots like these.
i like how the colours ended up on this (after a bit of fiddling)
big ben contained within
“big ben and the houses of parliament”. in quotes.
i sometimes get asked if i ever get in trouble whilst taking photos. well, mostly i avoid confrontation as much as possible, although i did get chased off by the security guards outside the gherkin recently.
this photo had potential to be a bit more exciting. the guy on the floor is a drunk homeless type (street embassador as i like to call them). to his right, just out of frame were too conscious drunks, and it was them i was worried about.
assuming they hadn’t been there, i would have laid on the ground and zoomed in on the union jack of his trousers with big ben in the distance. but i thought his friends might jump on me so i got this shot instead.
sorry about that.
batman bashes big ben
it’s a classic shot from a classic location, but the sky was sooo blue i couldn’t resist.
