About Big Ben Clockface

A tight photograph of the corner of the Big Ben clock tower, taken looking up so two clock faces sit on either side of the stone angle. Each dial is cream and softly lit from within, ringed by black iron tracery and gilded detail, with black Roman numerals and slender black hands. The right-hand clock reads close to one o'clock, the left is angled sharply away. Below the dials, tiers of carved sandstone arches, gargoyle heads and small windows run in warm brown and ochre bands. A narrow wedge of clear blue sky shows at the top left.

The character is architectural and close-range rather than postcard wide: the frame is filled with stone texture, ironwork and gold leaf, and the low warm sunlight picks out every carved edge and weathered patch on the masonry. Colour sits in a narrow band of brown, cream and gold, with the single strip of blue sky as relief.

Suits a hallway, study or dining room where the warm brown and gold tones can sit against cream, taupe or timber walls. Works alongside leather seating, brass lamps and dark timber furniture, and pairs well with other travel or city photographs. Good above a sideboard or desk in a home office.
