PhotoBlog Experiment #4: Hampton Court in Fall


Hampton Court

The Hampton Court is perhaps the only tourist spot that is closest from where I lived. It is heralded as a "summer destination" - overwhelmingly beautiful when the flowers are in full bloom. Despite the weather, the garden remains stunning and its well-manicured lawns open wide to welcome every tourist to its gates.

The rain didn't stop me from paying the Hampton Court a visit. For me, it had better be now or never... because I had no idea when I will ever get the chance to go back to that place again.

This Tudor Palace was once inhabitted by King Henry VIII who was prominent for his appetite for food (that probably explains the number of kitchen this place has to boot!) ...and wives!
