Saturday Snapshot
September 10, 2011
Carl and I visited London for the first time in June so, of course, we had to hit all of the tourist spots. I’m sure everyone’s seen a photo of Big Ben before, but it was the first time we saw it in person, so we took LOTS of pictures of it. I think this is one of the best.
Saturday Snapshot is hosted by Alyce of At Home With Books. It’s easy to participate – just post a picture that was taken by you, a friend, or a family member and add your link on Alyce’s site.

Your trip must have been so much fun! Did you hear the chimes (gongs?) of Big Ben?
Aw, Big Ben! Nice pic.
This is something I long to get my very own pictures of. It must have been so exciting to see it in person!
Nice pic! I’ve seen plenty pictures of Big Ben, but not so many taken on a nice sunny-looking day like that.
Great perspective, I can feel how huge the tower is!
Big Ben -wow- it’s so huge!
Great photo! It never matters if there are a zillion photos of a landmark because you need your own memories of that moment!
Big Ben looks so beautiful especially with the gorgeous sky in the background.
I haven’t been to London since I was a teen. I’d sure love to go back some day.
I miss London!
That’s a wonderful picture of Big Ben. One of these days I’m going to see it live and in person for myself.
Here’s my Snapshot: http://myreadersblock.blogspot.com/2011/09/saturday-snapshot-september-10.html
Great shot. Big Ben is looking glorious with that blue skied background and greenery. London is one of my favorite cities in the world.
It is impossible not to take a zillion photos of Big Ben. It’s just so impressive and stately looking in person.
Wow, beautiful photo.
I like how this photo really shows the size of the building (and blue sky, a definite plus when in London!)
I would so love to check out this landmark! It is certainly a must-see!
That’s a great picture of Big Ben. One of the good things about London is that there’s so much to see that you have to go back over and over again
Much more exciting to be able to take your own picture I’m sure. And you even managed to get a day with a blue sky!
I like it! I want to go back to London, my one visit was for one night as a stop-over to Germany. I think I need a month there…at least.
Thisis a fantastic photo, Kathy! I love Big Ben and hope to see it in person one day!
I love Big Ben. Nice shot, Kathy!
Great shot of Big Ben Kathy.
I absolutely love London. This is a great photo of Ben. I really really want to go back and take my kids.
I’ve never been to London and have only seen small not so clear pictures of Big Ben. I double clicked on the photo and was amazed at the architecture. I don’t think I’ve ever seen such detail! Beautiful!
Here’s Mine
Awesome pic! I’ve never been to London (yet!), but when I do, I fully intend to hit all of the tourist spots too.
So pretty. I vow to see this in person some day.
Hello Ben
I love your perspective…I hope to see this one day in person too!!
I’ve never been, but I’ve always wanted to go. Love this shot.
It is a great photo of the Big Ben!
Here is my Saturday Snapshot post!
I’d love to go overseas and visit a country that speaks English! Great photo
Great photo.
I do like to visit London, but have only been a handful of times in my life and I live in England!

That is so good! I hope to get the opportunity to visit London one day.
Ben is so photogenic!
Hi Kathy,
It is a pretty spectacular sight, isn’t it? We were up in London just last week on my niece’s ‘hen’ party. We had an evening River Thames boat cruise and dinner booked, leaving from Westminster pier, which is right across the road from Big Ben. As we were walking past to get to the dock, it turned 6 o’clock and we were stood right under the clock as it struck the hour. An awesome sound that seemed to reverberate around the whole area.
I’ve never been to London. This is a great angle for a shot of Big Ben. Thank you!
Great shot. I would love to go to Lodon some day.
Good Shot Kathy, I would love to visit London someday too…
Oooh, Big Ben — my buddy! Fun to see a shot from your London trip . . . I’ll keep my eyes peeled for more!
I’m so jealous. Great picture!
it’s such a pretty building. We had a lot of rain when in London so not many pictures from our trip. Nice that you got a bunch!!
It’s always exciting seeing iconic world buildings for the first time, isn’t it? Great picture.
I think Big Ben is one of those things that always looks neat in a photo…no matter how often you see it.
When we were there it was also a lovely day. I was amazed at the architecture of Big Ben and the Parliament buildings. Such detailed work. Come to think of it, a book about the building of those structures would be good to read.
