a night time long exposure of Big Ben and the houses of Parliament,London, United Kingdom
to capture this photo i used an exposure time of about 2.5 seconds
A view through time , in the foreground obviously is the Elizabeth Tower housing Big Ben ( a shot before all the scaffolding went up ) and beyond is Westminster Abbey which goes back in time even further .
Westminster Abbey is steeped in more than a thousand years of history. Benedictine monks first came to this site in the middle of the tenth century, establishing a tradition of daily worship which continues to this day.
The Abbey has been the coronation church since 1066 and is the final resting place of seventeen monarchs. The present church, begun by Henry III in 1245, is one of the most important Gothic buildings in the country, with the medieval shrine of an Anglo-Saxon saint still at its heart.
A treasure house of paintings, stained glass, pavements, textiles and other artefacts, Westminster Abbey is also the place where some of the most significant people in the nation's history are buried or commemorated. Taken as a whole the tombs and memorials comprise the most significant single collection of monumental sculpture anywhere in the United Kingdom.
My favourite shot of the day. Had to HDR it as the sky was a total wash out and as usual, I could not resist a painterly finish

Big Ben é o nome do sino, que foi instalado no Palácio de Westminster durante a gestão de Sir Benjamin Hall, ministro de Obras Públicas da Inglaterra, em 1859. Por ser um sujeito alto e corpulento, Benjamin tinha o apelido de Big Ben.
Apesar do termo também ser usado para se referir a torre do relógio onde o sino está localizado, a estrutura é oficialmente conhecida como a Elizabeth Tower, rebatizada para comemorar o Jubileu de Diamante da Rainha Isabel II do Reino Unido (antes de ser rebatizada em 2012, a torre era conhecida simplesmente como “Clock Tower”). A edificação possui o segundo maior relógio de quatro faces do mundo, foi construída em estilo neogótico e tem 96 metros de altura. A torre foi concluída em 1858 e tornou-se um dos símbolos mais importantes do Reino Unido, sendo frequentemente retratada em filmes ambientados em Londres.
