Big Ben miniature map with buses

A toylike Big Ben anchors a tabletop map scene with a calm, whimsical mood and a clear sense of scale. The tiny red double-decker buses crawl along printed roads and leave faint reflections on the paper surface in a color range centered on #C41E3A, #E6D8B0, #8C7B6D, and #6EA3D9. Little telephone booths stand nearby as steady vertical cues and sit on smooth paper textures with subtle folded edges. Surfaces remain unlettered and clean so the printed roads and map typographic marks read as abstract lines and blocks. The clocktower face and the nearest bus are crisply resolved with a shallow depth that separates foreground detail from softer midground elements. Framing fits a 16:9 aspect with a medium-wide view, eye-level vantage and balanced negative space along the left-to-right sweep. Light is gentle and neutral, giving warm paper highlights and soft cool blue skylight inflections. Materials show matte paper, painted enamel on bus roofs, and carved stone texture on the clocktower base. A single street lamp prop and a scattered ticket stub add story cues and scale. The overall treatment reads like a delicate watercolor and gouache illustration with fine grain and careful edge control.
