London Blue Hour
The Palace of Westminster and the Elizabeth Tower or Big Ben as most people know it. Big Ben was actually the second bell made for the tower. The first was made just down the road from where I live back in August 1856. It was the biggest bell ever made at the time and after being transported to London by ship it cracked during testing. It was broken down and recast as 'Big Ben'. That was not the end of it though, the bell again cracked and remains cracked to this date!
