A street in London which had a Dickensian feel to it.

Homepage Feature – 12th July, 2009. / / Probably one of the most famous time-pieces in the world. It is the largest four-faced chiming clock in the world. / /
One of the first street shots I ever took back in 1964 in the East End of London. This was before Playstations, and probably the only ‘toy’ these kids shared between them was a skipping rope. Old bomb sites still held a fascination though as a form of amusement and exploration, as can be seen here. It was taken using a Yashica Mat 120 film twin lens reflex camera that took me six months to save up for. I used Tri-X B/W film and printed on a hard grade of paper to get the punchy contrast, a characteristic of all my early B/W work. This image was photographed digitally from the original print in my portfolio. © 1964 John Hooton Photography
... for the first time. I loved Kensington…
The Palace of Westminster, also known as the Houses of Parliament or Westminster Palace, in London. May 2008.
evereddy © 2008 Shoreditch , East London , 2008 This image has been nominated for the prestigous Pay it Forward Group, by Tainia Finlay and this is what she very kindly had to say about it… “I love this not only for the colour but also the feeling of times past, taken in Shoreditch, London. This building has withstood two world wars and could say so much about life over the years in that part of London. Umbra has a unique way of illustrating candid street life in London. One of my favourite artists on RB.” Thanks so much Tai :))

A 3 shot HDR processed in Photomatix Big Ben is the nickname for the great bell of the clock at the north-eastern end of the Palace of Westminster in London,[1] and is often extended to refer to the clock or the clock tower as well.[2] Big Ben is the largest four-faced chiming clock and the third-tallest free-standing clock tower in the world.[3] It celebrated its 150th anniversary in May 2009 (the clock itself first ticking on 31st May),[4] during which celebratory events took place
A 3 Shot HDR processed in Photomatix During 2009 Parliament celebrates the 150th anniversary of its world famous Clock Tower, Great Clock and Great Bell. The name Big Ben is often used to describe the tower, the clock and the bell but the name was first given to the Great Bell. 1859 was the beginning for all three elements when the Clock Tower was completed, the Great Clock started on 31 May and the Great Bell’s chimes were heard for the first time on 11 July.
Captured at around 5.00am from Westminster Bridge, it had just stopped raining and Big Ben looked beautiful. Ha ha, I’ve just gotten outta bed, and noticed that the clock actually tells the time, just after quarter past five in the morning. It was worth it though:-) LOL. Also the real name is St Stephen’s Tower, Big Ben is the Bell.

One of the beautiful buildings in London, thought I would give it a mysterious/spooky feel….just need a title :)
Please View Large Wikipedia © The Palace of Westminster, also known as the Houses of Parliament, is the seat of the two houses of the Parliament of the United Kingdom—the House of Lords and the House of Commons. The Palace lies on the north bank of the River Thames in the London borough of the City of Westminster, close to the government buildings of Whitehall. / The palace contains around 1,100 rooms, 100 staircases and 5 kilometres (3 mi) of corridors. Although the building mainly dates from the 19th century, remaining elements of the original historic buildings include Westminster Hall, used today for major public ceremonial events such as lyings in state, and the Jewel Tower. Control of the Palace of Westminster and its precincts was for centuries exercised by the Queen’s representative, the Lord Great Chamberlain. By agreement with the Crown, control passed to the two Houses in 1965. Certain ceremonial rooms continue to be controlled by the Lord Great Chamberlain. After a fire in 1834, the present Houses of Parliament were built over the next 30 years. They were the work of the architect Sir Charles Barry (1795–1860) and his assistant Augustus Welby Pugin (1812–52). The design incorporated Westminster Hall and the remains of St Stephen’s Chapel. Big Ben is part of The Palace of Westminster which was designated a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1987. Nikon D300 / Sigma 24-70mm
