Open House is the annual opportunity to explore hundreds of buildings in London for free and see the architecture. Many of the buildings are not normally open to the public.
The main Foreign Office building in King Charles Street was built by George Gilbert Scott in partnership with Matthew Digby Wyatt. George Gilbert Scott was responsible for the overall classical design of these offices, but Matthew Digby Wyatt, the India Office’s Surveyor, designed and built the interior of the India Office. It was built with rich decoration to impress foreign visitors.
The Durbar Court is at the heart of the India Office and was first used in 1867 for a reception for the Sultan of Turkey. The actual name dates only from 1902 when some of the coronation celebrations of King Edward VII were held there.
On a recent business trip to Paris I took the opportunity to do a little sight seeing. I didn't get as much time as I would have liked and I'd like to return on a dedicated photography trip.
I couldn't even fake a sky as perfect as that x

Amalienborg Palace (Danish: Amalienborg, pronounced [aˈmaːˀliə̯nbɔːˀʀ]) is the winter home of the Danish royal family, and is located in Copenhagen, Denmark. It consists of four identical classicizing palace façades with rococo interiors around an octagonal courtyard (Amalienborg Slotsplads); in the center of the square is a monumental equestrian statue of Amalienborg's founder, King Frederik V.
Amalienborg was originally built for four noble families; however, when Christiansborg Palace burnt down on 26 February 1794, the royal family bought the palaces and moved in. Over the years various kings and their families have resided in the four different palaces.

The Halászbástya or Fisherman's Bastion is a terrace in neo-Gothic and neo-Romanesque style situated on the Buda bank of the Danube, on the Castle hill in Budapest, around Matthias Church. It was designed and built between 1895 and 1902 on the plans of Frigyes Schulek. Between 1947–48, the son of Frigyes Schulek, János Schulek, conducted the other restoration project after its near destruction during World War II.
From the towers and the terrace a panoramic view exists of Danube, Margaret Island, Pest to the east and the Gellért Hill.
Its seven towers represent the seven Magyar tribes that settled in the Carpathian Basin in 896.
The Bastion takes its name from the guild of fishermen that was responsible for defending this stretch of the city walls in the Middle Ages. It is a viewing terrace, with many stairs and walking paths.
A bronze statue of Stephen I of Hungary mounted on a horse, erected in 1906, can be seen between the Bastion and the Matthias Church. The pedestal was made by Alajos Stróbl, based on the plans of Frigyes Schulek, in Neo-Romanesque style, with episodes illustrating the King's life.
It was featured as a Pit Stop on the sixth season of The Amazing Race.
