Week 3: Big Ben

I studied abroad this summer in Spain and then traveled around Europe with friends for a couple months and just happened to snap this amazing picture of Big Ben during the early evening. It was a typical overcast day in England, however, what I noticed after being there for a couple days was that the overcast mornings turned into the most beautiful afternoons. I was captivated by how the sun was shining through little pockets in the clouds, and how Big Ben and the castle were surrounded by a dark shadow. Looking down the street at this magnificent view I felt as if I was in a romantic movie and there should have been music booming in the background. I love the contrast between the sun kissed clouds and the dark castle because the opposition helped in making the street and the clouds have a warm glow to them, rather than looking gloomy and dark.
