The Houses of Parliament

One of my results of a night photography trip with my friends, Asmaa Al-Thani and the young photographer Talal Al-Thani from Qatar. I enjoyed my time with them sharing ideas and angles. Thank you Amal, Asmaa, and Talal for the trip.

The Houses of Parliament, otherwise known as The Palace of Westminster, stands on the site where Edward the Confessor had the original palace built in the first half of the eleventh century. In 1547 the royal residence was moved to Whitehall Palace, but the Lords continued to meet at Westminster, while the commons met in St. Stephen's Chapel. Ever since these early times, the Palace of Westminster has been home to the English Parliament.
