The Elizabeth Tower

Where am I today?

This a famous big clock in our nation's Capital.
Yep, in London for a few days, but did you think I was at Big Ben?

Big Ben is actually the bell that bongs the hour, not the tower that houses it. The bell was cast in my home town of Loughborough, Leicestershire in 1859.

That's a fabulous close up of the Parliament clock. Reckon if I'd brought my decent camera, with decent telephoto lens, I could have got that also.
Seriously, that is a great shot. Composition and pov is fab. Fav
