QUEEN’S BACKYARD

Buckingham Backyard

Every summer, Queen Elizabeth open the doors of the Buckingham Palace to the public while she takes a vacation in Scotland. My recent trip to London a few weeks ago made a visit to the palace inevitable. Photography is not allowed inside the palace so people were limited to taking photos of the facade (just like every other tourist outside the palace gates the rest of the year).  After the tour, I stepped out of the palace into the backyard and realized that this part of the palace is rarely photographed. Maybe because you will need to be inside the compound to capture this scenery.  In this photo, I love how the cotton candy clouds float on the deep blue skies while the expansive carpet of greens complemented the earthy tones of the palace walls. At first look, you wouldn’t even think of this as the Buckingham Palace. It’s nice to capture the least photographed part of one of the most photographed buildings in the world.

  2. This is the picture I tried to take while I went this summer, but just couldn’t get it right. You have captured it far better than I did, and on what looks like a great day. I was shocked by how serene it was, right in the heart of the city. Great post. 🙂
