Yes
I've not posted anything in a while, so here's some from a recent trip to Hampton Court Palace. I reckon it fits L&S more than the other forums, apologies if you disagree. It really is a magnificent place and I recommend everyone goes, it should be compulsory:

1. The massive "new" building designed by Wren when the palace was modernised

2. Fountain Court

3. One of the many staircases with the paineted walls behind

4. A second staircase with a massive chandalier (sp?)

5. Statue gallery

6. The exterior of the massive Tudor Great Hall

I've got some more but not as many of the Tudor palace as I hoped, I must have spent more time looking at things in there :D

Lovely set.
 
I love all of them, #1&2 win it for me though. The wide angle of one and sheer size of the place emphasized in two. Nice shots.

Yes, all very nice shots. Perhaps a bit too wide for my taste, but lovely composition and colour.

I'm really surprised they let you shoot inside though.

There were people mooching around taking pictures of all sorts. One couple were wandering around with bags stuffed full of gear, I think they had 3 gripped nikons between them and two shoulder bags bulging with stuff, a bit ott I reckon.

The only things they specifically said no to was the great chapel which is amazing and the show of the tapestry digital recolouring. I think if you went around taking pictures of every painting or were being a nuisance to others they might have a word, but if you are considerate and look like a tourist there seems to be no problems
 
Another one, this time more like what i would do with film in the darkroom:

Some day my dear wife and I shall cross the great sea and come to Hampton Court. Tudor England is a compelling story. These are fine photos.
