London Classic, a photo from London, England

Photographer's Note

Sunset over the palace of Westminster also known as the houses of Parliament,The Big Ben and the Westminster Bridge.
The first royal palace was built on the site in the eleventh century, and Westminster was the primary London residence of the Kings of England until a fire destroyed much of the complex in 1512. After that, it served as the home of Parliament, which had been meeting there since the thirteenth century, and the seat of the Royal Courts of Justice, based in and around Westminster Hall. In 1834, an even greater fire ravaged the heavily rebuilt Houses of Parliament, and the only structures of significance to survive were Westminster Hall, the Cloisters of St Stephen's, the Chapel of St Mary Undercroft and the Jewel Tower.

Bonjour, Emin,
Outre l'intérêt historique de ces édifices prestigieux, j'admire la beauté de l'image avec ce soleil couchant, qui donne à la composition une coloration toute particulière du meilleur effet.
Amitiés.

Merhaba Emin,

Not easy for take through the backlight sun to the sky.
But you shows us a nice contrast image with the skyline of the classic London.
Exactly a old painting out of 18th century.
Very well done, TFS.

Tebrikler, selamlar,
John.
