■ Big Ben

Big Ben is a clock tower located in London, England, and is officially known as the "Elizabeth Tower." The name "Big Ben" originally referred to the large bell inside the tower, but over time, it became associated with the entire tower.

The Elizabeth Tower was completed in 1859. It was designed by William A. Banks, and the clock and bell were constructed by George Elliott.
The tower was originally constructed as part of the British Houses of Parliament and was completed during the reign of Queen Victoria. The large bell, known as Big Ben, weighs around 13 tons and produces a powerful sound, making it widely recognized as a symbol of London. The tower itself stands at about 96 meters tall, and at its top, there are four large clock faces. Each clock face has a diameter of about 7 meters, and the clocks are known for their intricate design and precision.

Today, Big Ben is one of the most iconic tourist destinations in London, attracting many visitors from around the world due to its historical significance and beautiful design. It is also a symbol of British culture and history, and its chimes are famously heard during important events such as the New Year's countdown.

Big Ben is more than just a clock tower; it stands as an important symbol embodying British culture and history, cherished globally.

■ Taking photos

I waited for the sunset at St. Thomas' Riverside Garden, which is across Westminster Bridge, in order to capture Big Ben bathed in the evening glow. Since I visited at the end of May, sunset was around 9 PM, so I needed to waite quite a while to get the perfect evening shot. In the park, there were orange poppies in bloom, and I was able to take a beautiful photo of the poppies with Big Ben in the background.

After the sun had set, I used a tripod to capture a beautiful shot of Big Ben and Westminster Bridge, illuminated at night. Just across the Westminster Bridge from Big Ben, along the River Thames, there are several excellent spots for photography. Since these places are popular with both tourists and photographers, I recommend arriving early if you plan to set up a tripod.
