Hi All,
Thanks for all the C&C's on my last upload of Horse Guards Parade/Whitehall.
This image is of the main entrance to the Natural History Museum in London, designed by Alfred Waterhouse (1830-1905), a Victorian architect particularly associated with the Gothic Revival style of architecture. Waterhouse received, without competition, the commission to build the Natural History Museum in South Kensington (1873–1881), a design which marks an epoch in the modern use of architectural terracotta and which was to become his best known work.
Best wishes,
Philip

Really excellent, a graceful, dynamic composition created out of the bigger picture.

Super shot, I visited last autumn and was blown away by the architecture never having been before - I loved the birds and monkeys on the columns inside as well - good detail and light and contrast not an easy subject to photograph. Well done
Elaine
Excellent capture of this fine detail Philip.
