Description
Big Ben, Houses of Parliament, London, UK, thermogram. The colours show variations in temperature. The scale runs from white (warmest), through yellow, orange, red and purple to black (coldest). Thermography records the temperature of surfaces by detecting long-wavelength infrared radiation. Buildings reflect and produce a lot of heat, meaning that London is consistently warmer than its surrounding countryside. Big Ben is the name commonly given to the clocktower at the Houses of Parliament. Technically though it refers to the bell inside. The UK's Houses of Parliament comprise the lower House of Commons and the upper House of Lords.
