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!
I took this shot of iconic symbol of London the Tower Bridge this summer. It is a combined bascule and suspension bridge in the city of London. It spans the River Thames, connecting the London boroughs of Tower Hamlets at North side and Southwark at south side. It has two towers linked by two walkways and suspended sections to either side of the towers, stretching towards the banks of the Thames. It's one of the most mesmerizing structures in London and you can never get enough of it!

Die Tower Bridge ist eine Straßenbrücke über den Fluss Themse in London und benannt nach dem nahen Tower of London. Sie wurde 1894 eröffnet und verbindet den Stadtbezirk Tower Hamlets auf der Nordseite mit dem Stadtteil Southwark im Stadtbezirk London Borough of Southwark auf der Südseite. Über die Brücke führt die Hauptstraße A 100. Die Tower Bridge ist eine im neugotischen Stil errichtete Klappbrücke und die östlichste Themsebrücke in London. Am Nordufer befinden sich der Tower of London und die St Katharine Docks, am Südufer die City Hall. Die Brücke ist im Besitz von Bridge House Estates, einer Wohlfahrtsorganisation der City of London Corporation, die auch für den Unterhalt zuständig ist. Gelegentlich wird die Tower Bridge mit der London Bridge verwechselt, diese jedoch ist die nächste Brücke stromaufwärts. Östlicher an der Themse, flussabwärts liegt nur mehr – erst seit 1991 – die Queen Elizabeth II Bridge.
It's my first trip and my first film in 2022 and It's the first time that I went to the travel with my family.

Taken a couple of months ago on a day when the mist was just starting to retreat. The bridge is Southwark Bridge, the building in the distance is 1 Blackfriars Road. The lens I used was a 200mm full frame equivalent which compresses the scene nicely.
I've turned comments off for this image as I'm going to be off Flickr for a day or two and I won't have the time to reply to your kind comments.

Today I was browsing through my archive photos of our trip to London in May 2017 after hearing the rather alarming news from England ...
We were visiting THE SHARD on our wedding anniversary ... and I never had a stronger Gin & Tonic so far in my life - they really meant well for me ... I swear it was the tower that swayed and not me ;))
Have a Happy Forth Sunday of Advent (nonetheless) and a Happy Sliders Sunday ... and please take care !!
And happy Windows Wednesday :)
