I photographed it in the rain and in the sunshine, in the morning and in the evening. I photographed it up close and at a distance.

As British Prime Minister Keir Starmer faced down challenges to his leadership and lightening flashed near Buckingham Palace, we strolled and snapped, strolled and snapped.

What I snapped most — no contest — was Big Ben. I couldn’t get enough of London’s iconic clock tower and Houses of Parliament. I tried to stop myself, then I’d see it in another light or from another angle — and take another photo.

Before pushing “publish,” I counted the images of Big Ben I’d captured today. Thirty-one! It seemed like more.
