Description
Had a week off work recently and, one day, visited Windsor Castle.
Reading is only a few miles from Windsor and I have been there many times yet, oddly, never been inside the Castle.
So, this was a first for me. I took quite a few photos but it was a rainy day with only a little sunshine so many of them are a little drab. I will, however, post a short series of favourites that either looked good or could be made interesting with a little post-work.
Sadly, photography is banned inside the buildings which is a shame because there were some magnificent sights but, nonetheless, some of the exteriors are quite grand.
This was a shot from the path between the visitors entrance and the State Apartments.
The sky was fairly grey and the light not too good but it looks great as a sepia and I have also tweaked the stone texture on the walls and tower.

Nice sketch Kev.

Thanks for the reminder - I was there 1969. No photos indoors then either (security?). I recall there was a fire in the main tower many years ago. It took a lot to restore the building. Looking foreward to more photos. :)
