  • A symbolic grasp for British political power. The reaching hands of ex-South African President Nelson Mandela's statue seemingly grasp the Big Ben clock tower in Parliament Square, Westminster, central London. On the day of the British general election where a hung parliament is a possibility, the fight for power of the nation appears to be an historic possibility.

  • The tower containing Big Ben amid the Gothic architecture of Britain's Houses of Parliament seen from the Embankment. A male jogger passes-by, a silhouette seen aginst the strong power of Parliament on the River Thames. As he runs across the scene, his head appears to be nudging the clock tower of Big Ben, an appearance of false scale. The House of Commons is the lower house of the Parliament of the United Kingdom, which also comprises the Sovereign and the House of Lords (the upper house). Both Commons and Lords meet in the Palace of Westminster.

  • A male commuter walks past the defaced Labour Party poster which is displayed in a front garden in Herne Hill, South London. The seat of Labour's Tessa Jowell MP, the Minister for the 2012 Olympics. The large sign has had a few extra lines, possibly from a Conservative supporter who has written the words "Vote for us, we want your money," that means a vote for Labour will take cash from the voter/tax-payer's pocket if Labour are returned to govern the nation. The house is typical of a south London Victorian terraced home.

  • The British Union Jack Flag flies in a stiff breeze, its colours of red-white and blue almost wholly horizontal as the wind tears through the blue skies and beneath wispy cirrus clouds, in Eastbourne, West Sussex, England UK. Tied to its flag-pole, this symbol of patriotic nationalism, evokes a sense of pride and spirit the British are known for - having encouraged them through two world wars and more recently, other military campaigns. The colours (colors) of Scotland's blue and white crosses and the English cross of St. George are merged to make this well-known symbol of the British Isles.
