Big Ben is silent!

Description

Big Ben tower, a London icon, looks unrecognisable with man-made huge scaffolding obscuring its famous clock faces as repairs continue on 300ft London landmark that won't chime for four years! Good example of man-made architecture!

This is an excellent image Husain and will be a keepsake, but I hope you did not visit London to see Big Ben and found it under construction:-( #11690893

What makes this so neat Husain is that most of us have seen at least pictures of Big Ben. The fact that it is hit in there is wonderful because they are doing repairs. I love all the detains, and there are hundreds, that you bring out with clarity and sharpness. The pov is excellent with the vertical look, you got a gorgeous blue sky to make the construction stand out even more. Beautifully done Husain. #11690959

So well seen and presented, Husain, and most definitely a unique view of Big Ben! There are going to be some very disappointed tourists for a long time! Great work. #11691010
