Dec 2011: Evening at Windsor Castle #5

This is the last photo essay of our trip to Windsor Castle. We finished trekking through the State Apartments. They were wonderful indeed, but for some bizarre reason, I wasnt allowed to take photographs. CRIMINAL!


We come out on the Upper Ward and see the Quadrangle. Lovely place, eh? Sorry about the Panorama Stitch..
