Thanks for your comments. There are all right on.
I was there to see the aquarium (One of my passions), ans didn't bring my
longer lens. It turned out to be a school holiday (mid term?), so the
aquarium was mobbed with kids. Then I noticed the Dali exhibit, and we
decided to take it in rather than waiting in the long line for the
aquarium. When we came out of the exhibit, the clock sculpture was staring
me in the face, but there were electic wires in the way. While moving
around to minimize the wires (which I eventually took out in photoshop), I
noticed "Big Ben" and framed the shot. It was drizzling and a bit hazy, so
the tower isn't as clear (or as large) as I would have liked. I actually
turned around to see if I could get higher, but that was not possible
because of County Hall. I think i would have missed the shot if I was not
just coming out of the Dali exhibit and therefore in the right spot.
Thanks again for your comments.
Dan
