Big Ben Clock Tower above the Houses of Parliament is surrounded by blue sky in London
Big Ben Clock Tower above the Houses of Parliament is surrounded by blue sky in London May 30, 2009. Commonly called Big Ben, which is actually the nickname of the bell inside it, the 96-metre Clock Tower looks down on the Houses of Parliament along the River Thames and has become a symbol of stability, endurance and democracy in Britain. It was 150 years ago on Sunday that the four-faced Great Clock started keeping time, and on July 11, 1859, Big Ben first struck time.

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the iconic Big Ben Clock Tower standing tall above the Houses of Parliament, against a backdrop of clear blue skies in London. The image, taken on May 30,2009, showcases the architectural marvel that has come to symbolize stability, endurance, and democracy in Britain. Often mistakenly referred to as Big Ben itself, this magnificent 96-meter Clock Tower is home to the famous bell that bears its name. Overlooking the River Thames and flanked by the historic Houses of Parliament, it stands as a testament to British heritage and tradition. The significance of this photograph goes beyond its aesthetic appeal. It commemorates an important milestone - exactly 150 years since the Great Clock within Big Ben began keeping time. On July 11th, 1859, this majestic tower first struck time with its resounding chimes echoing through London's streets. Luke MacGregor skillfully captured this timeless scene which encapsulates both history and beauty. The vibrant blue sky serves as a striking contrast against the intricate architecture of these renowned landmarks. As we gaze upon this image today, we are reminded not only of their grandeur but also their enduring presence in shaping British society. This photograph stands as a tribute to an extraordinary piece of engineering that continues to inspire awe and admiration worldwide.
