Photographer's Note
The Clock Tower is now officially known as the Elizabeth Tower, after the celebration of the Diamond Jubilee of Elizabeth II.
Big Ben is the nickname for the great bell of the clock and the most likely explanation is it was named after Sir Benjamin Hall, First Commissioner for Works, whose name is inscribed on the bell.

Salut André
Un classique parfaitement réalisé que tu nous propose aujourd'hui.
Toutes ces lignes sont un régal avec l'emblème en toile de fond.

Hallo Andre,
Well, Clock Tower is well used name for a tower with clock, so Elizabeth Tower will be more unique. For me it will be Big Ben tower anyway. But how you made this photo?? Amazing all these thin lines in the colours of rainbow. Fantastic effect.

Hello Andre,
I know all our shots are still photographs but this one has an amazing sense of movement!
I like how the converging lines seriously affect the colours of the features that they cross.
A very original photograph of a very familiar place.
Have a good day,
Bev :-)

Hi Andre
a clever and original shot from this tourist Mecca. It works so beautifully and more so when you exclude the people who crowd onto this bridge in summer. I was there a few weeks ago and it drove me insane, everyone is a photographer nowadays with their smart phones. Stunning image.

Le type de photo que je tenterais surement si je passe dans le coin.
L'ensemble est bien équilibré (à la fois pour l'exposition que pour le remplissage des volumes), avec un bon placement en prime des trainées lumineuses qui sont parfois délicates à anticiper.
Yves.

Wonderful exposure at the blue hour, and four seconds added much to this photo with the lines of the bus. Congratulations.

Salut André,
une expo aux petits oignons. De très belles couleurs et des trainées superbes, effectivement pas toujours faciles à capter correctement comme le fait remarquer Yves. Tu es un vrai 'Ghost Bus'-ter!

Hello Andre - I am off to England on Sunday and I had thought to leave my tripod here in Windhoek. Seeing this shot has made me think again.
What a marvelous collection of light trails, it's eight in the evening and people dash home after a busy day in a busy city.
Nicely managed, I like you way of getting a clean shot of Parliament and adding a feel for the mad pace of London.
Warm regards
Rosemary

Hi Andre,
An impressive and colorful image from London! The Big Ben looks so elegant under the blue hour moment with all the lights around. Excellent work as well as great composition.
Have a nice day!

Hi Andre!
This is just great! The exposure and the lines in diagonal are just perfect - I like a lot the sense of movement. Really well thought and done!

Bonjour André.
Superbement pensé et construit!
Les lignes du passage d'un bus sont ce qui fait que ce n'est pas une photo banale de l'architecture à l'heure bleue, elles donnent une dynamique à l'image statique par définition.
bon dimanche

This could be just another boring photo of the Big Ben (though a perfect one from the technical point of view, with nice, saturated colors and proper composition). But using the idea of taking the photo with the ghost bus passing in the foreground really does the trick and adds a lot to this picture. It's clearly the best picture of Big Ben I've ever seen. 10/10 for me.
