When you photograph a multi photographed place like Big Ben, you have to be able to look at it at a different angle, or in a different way, in order to make it stand out. This was my attempt of doing so. A long exposure, from a low angle, and a long wait, trying, until getting the light trails in a way that looked nice and well balanced.
