In the grounds of Greenwich Palace #PalacesandGardens #People #photography #dailyphoto #out&about #London
A view across the lawns of Greenwich Palace. People stroll along the wide driveways that cut through the park in both directions. An open top bus is parked on a road by the gates at the far end of the drive. On the other side of the road more lawn separates two white buildings, each with a domed tower and pillared colonnades on two sides. In the far distance, across the river, the tall glass office blocks of London.
