Big Ben

Catching a glimpse of Big Ben from across the Thames at sunset was like stepping into every postcard I've ever saved. The way it towers over Westminster Bridge really makes you appreciate the craftsmanship that's held it up for so long.

After a long week exploring the city, finally getting to see Big Ben in person made every step worth it—the sheer scale and detail up close is something photos never capture. The way its face dominates the skyline near Westminster Bridge really gave me a sense of London's history.

Six days in London and I still found myself glancing up at it every time I crossed the river—that clock face is even more impressive up close. The way it anchors the whole Westminster skyline makes every photo I took feel like a postcard.
