Westminster Bridge with Palace of Westminster (Houses of Parliament) and The Elizabeth Tower. The green colour matches the green seats in the House of Lords and the architecture of both the palace and Westminster Bridge is stunning. It's pleasant to simply stand and admire the perfect lines, spires, curves and arches. A close look will reveal hundreds of people on the bridge, most were taking photos on the bridge and what a beautiful background. The number of people on the bridge will give you an idea of how packed it is with people taking photos which can make it tricky to get a clear shot of the Palace and the bridge. So I decided to change up my vantage point walk around a bit more and cross over to the North East side. I was very pleased with my interpretation.
Elizabeth Tower, Westminster Bridge, Iconic London. Big Ben is the nickname for the Great Bell of the clock at the north end of the Palace of Westminster and is often extended to refer to both the clock and the clock tower. Officially the tower is known as the Elizabeth Tower and it houses the 2nd largest four-faced chiming clock in the world, Minneapolis City Hall's is larger. The beautiful lanterns on Westminster Bridge are green, matching the colour of the bridge. I am truly fascinated by how clean the lamps are, considering they are out in the elements. But then, I shouldn't be, because I know they have an intense cleaning regime... a tradition.
Toronto's Flat Iron Building (also called the Gooderham Worts Building) is older than the one in New York. It's located at Wellington and Church streets on the edge of the Financial District and is a Toronto icon. it is one of my most popular prints.
