Big Ben and Westminster Palace (Congress)

Many of you may recognize this hundred and two meter tower. 
 Big Ben
Yes. It is the famous Big Ben- the clock tower of London. Every fifteen minutes, the musical bells of the Big Ben ring through the area. I was lucky enough to be able to hear it chime and to even be able to see it up close. However, if you can't seem to find the time to go see the Big Ben up close, you can always walk across the Waterloo Bridge and you will be able to spot it from there. Of course, if you try to take the picture, it comes out rather blurry, in my opinion.

Beside the Big Ben will surface the Westminster Palace, otherwise known as Congress. It is a grand looking place and if you pause to take a picture of it, you won't be sorry. What is Congress? Well, if you look up Congress on the dictionary, it comes out as this. the national legislative body of a nation, especially of a republic. This picture was taken in the park right next to Congress!
