The Parliament Building in London is universally recognized and almost everyone has heard of Big Ben standing tall at the very end. I arrived here around 9:00 AM so that I could get the sun shining on the building and I lucked out with a gorgeous blue sky to go with that golden glow. After taking some photos, I walked over to the London Eye and took a ride on that giant ferris wheel. I got more great photos of this icon from high up. I'll post a couple of those on Sunday!

Unusually blue skies for London, but it really payed off to come earlier. Less traffic too. Great shot, and I also love the light.

Such a great pic!
This is the best light on Parliament that I have ever seen. Except Monet's interpretation of the light on Parliament might be a close second to your photo.
Pretty darned impressive, Sharon!! PS. I left a message for you on my blog today.
It pays to get out early!
Beautiful place and image! Our old stomping grounds (we used to live in Southbank:) - thanks for the trip down memory lane...
Have to tell you this story. When SWMBO and I visited London, we were in this vicinity. Confused by all the buildings, I approached a bobby (I think) and asked him where the Parliament was. He smiled sardonically and pointed his finger directly over his shoulder!
You did very well to capture not only a blue sky... but not a car in sight either!
Look out! Big Ben is falling over. (When I am at the furthest wide angle end of my zoom lens, I often worry about the edge tilt, but it is kind of unavoidable to get everything in, like this!)
