The place has a Majestic texture, even on a grey cloudy day, Jason.
I'd taken this wider in POV, but yours also show well the grandeur of this known palace.
I was standing there twice: 10/1978 and on 8/1993 - did not get to see any of Her/His Majesty...

Hi Jason,
The view up is clever. The vertical composition is well chosen, with excellent combination of light and shadows and excellent depth. The gray tone colors and cloudy, rainy sky add some special, London, atmosphere to this photo. Well done.

Hi Jason,
Only 78 bathrooms? My goodness, how do people survive in such conditions.... It is some impressive place, and my eye is drawn very much to the statue of the man with the lion on the right. How nice it must be to have statues that are worth more than the average persons house :)

If I lived here I would be very tempted to put a sign on the gate saying "If you lived here you'd be home now" :)

Really a fine building, fit for a king (or queen)
All the best, and happy Easter.
Noel
