sightseeing in London

This morning I went to visit the Royal Mews since we are staying just around the corner from Buckingham Palace. The mews houses all the state carriages and of course the Royal horses. Sadly there were no horses to be seen this morning but I took a few pictures - it was packed with tourists so quite hard to get a good view of the carriages.
This is where the carriages are stored when not in use -

and this is a replica of the real thing, very lifelike!

    Oh, what lucky horses to have such a regal looking stable.

    How great to be living so close to Buckingham Palace, maybe you will be invited in for tea :)
    Lovely shots, Justine, all that regalia is so lavish.

    Aren't those stalls wonderful! Your picture is perfect - it's lit beautifully. The second picture looks a little yellow. Most of the photos I take inside y house turn out yellowy so I adjust the temperature in Lightroom and that works very well. I had to do it with my Lunch II photograph yesterday.

    This is quite an elegant place for the horses, but of course, they're royal horses. I'm looking forward to seeing more of London through your lens!

    Beautiful, beautiful photos. Thanks for sharing your 'sights of London" with us ( I will be expecting a complete photo coverage of the up and coming royal wedding from you lol ). I just love all the beautiful textures and details on the harnesses and uniforms, so rich and opulent .

    I guess I missed this post before Justine. I really like this...never seen it before. I always like to show these to my husband too as he knows more about London than I do.
