Westminster at Twilight — Houses of Parliament from the Thames

Description

Stand on the South Bank at dusk and this is what you see: the Palace of Westminster stretching across the waterline, its Gothic pinnacles catching the last of the light, Big Ben rising above Westminster Bridge, and the Thames carrying the whole scene in its reflection.

This is the view that stopped Marc mid-stride on the day everything changed. Not a postcard angle, not a tourist snapshot — this is the Parliament you see when you stand where Londoners actually stand, when the city quiets down and the river takes over.

Engraved onto Thames foreshore slate — stone that sat beneath this very view for centuries before being reclaimed by hand — this piece carries the weight of place in every sense. The slate’s natural fractures and edges become part of the composition, as though the river itself decided where the image should end and the raw stone should begin.

A museum-quality piece for those who understand that London isn’t just a city — it’s a layered history you can hold.
