It was a gorgeous autumn day in London, with sun, bright skies, and colourful leaves.
I decided to go to Buckingham Palace, and I couldn't have picked a better time to do so. Walking around in Green Park was wonderful--the park is wild, with huge trees aligned in promenading rows and aisles. Oddly, however, the effect is not wierd or unnatural.
This is a view of one of the gates leading to Buckingham Palace, Wellington gate.
While I liked many elements of the Palace itself (such as the ornate gates and the monument of Queen Victoria, who was the first queen to live at Buckingham Palace), the overall effect was less than impressive, perhaps because the location is right in the middle of Westminster, cornered between two parks. It's too...crowded.
