Lighting up The Past: Tower of London by Stephen B Whatley
A glimpse of the ancient walls of Her Majesty's fortress, the Tower of London at the end of Tower Hill Underpass, the main entrance to the Tower from Tower Hill Station; and to Tower Bridge.
Lighting the way are large steel panels of the series of vibrant oil paintings, charting the Tower's history and sites, commissioned by the Tower from expressionist artist Stephen B Whatley, in 2000 - and permanently on show to tourists and citizens of Britain alike. The work of the artist, whose work has been published in TIME, is particularly popular with Americans.
Visible in this shot are just 9 of the 30 paintings that line the Tower Walkway, including (left) a large panorama of the Tower of London across the Thames.
Stephen B Whatley's previous public art commissions include paintings of Buckingham Palace, commissioned by The Royal Collection & exterior and interior architectural paintings for the BBC.
