Buckingham Palace

Dear friends,

Surprisingly delighted with London the first time I was there - because I imagined Paris to be the highlight of the trip - I was satisfied to know the monumental palace from the outside and admire the solemn changing of the Guard; despite it being summer and, therefore, a time when the palace was open to visitation with the Queen's absence, the opportunity absolutely did not seduce me.

The years passed and, recently, it aroused my curiosity to know more photos than some very beautiful ones that other internet searches showed me before.

What silly anti-anglicism, mine! Just because I don’t sympathize with the language at all, it doesn’t justify having spent so much time avoiding approaching the physical cradle of its last reigns. Yes, because the English called Modern was formed in England around the time of the Renaissance and spread throughout the world thanks to the British Colonial Empire.

Anglicism aside, the truth is that I was dazzled by what can be seen virtually from the “Queen's house”, be it Buckingham Palace and, as I always do, I came again to share with you the main beauty that I found.

Delza
