This aerial photograph captures the iconic Elizabeth Tower, affectionately known as Big Ben, undergoing a meticulous renovation at the Houses of Parliament in Westminster, Greater London. Taken by talented photographer Damian Grady and preserved by Historic England, this print encapsulates both the grandeur and fragility of one of Britain's most beloved landmarks. The image showcases the clock tower standing tall amidst a flurry of construction activity. Scaffolding envelops its majestic structure like a protective cocoon while skilled conservationists work tirelessly to restore its former glory.
