Hampton Court Palace is a royal palace in the borough of Richmond upon Thames, 11.7 miles (18.8 kilometres) south west and upstream of central London on the River Thames. Building of the palace began in 1515 for Cardinal Thomas Wolsey, a favourite of King Henry VIII. In 1529, as Wolsey fell from favour, the cardinal gave the palace to the King to check his disgrace; Henry VIII later enlarged it. Along with St James's Palace, it is one of only two surviving palaces out of the many owned by King Henry VIII.

Seen in Hampton Court's Parklands. The residents of the beautiful old homes surrounding Hampton Court are so lucky to have such marvelous views of the gardens and the palace.

Wasn't sure about whether to upload this shot due to the palace being partly obscured by trees.

After having a good lunch in the conservatory café and a very good guided tour of the castle itself, it didn't leave time to do justice to the different gardens. Those that we did see were beautifully presented, with plenty of interest. This is a single Lavatera flower.

The original Tudor Hampton Court Palace was begun by Cardinal Wolsey in the early 16th century, but it soon attracted the attention of Henry VIII, who brought all his six wives here. Surrounded by gorgeous gardens and famous features such as the Maze and the Great Vine, the palace has been the setting for many nationally important events.

This surreal landscape is an annual event in spring at Hampton Court. Two beds of alliums separated by a strip of grass gives a lovely separation and layering

A friend of mine said "Why doesn't your stuff look, well, err, "photographic"?" So I set to work on one and here's one that does, well, err, nearly :)
Long exposure shot taken from the Taggs Island Bridge looking towards Hampton Church on the River Thames using a B+W 10 stop reduction filter.
As well as mandatory tripod use, attention also has to be paid to getting the correct focus 'before' putting on such a dark filter.

Hampton Court, Surrey, on a summer afternoon.
This was the favourite residence of King Henry VIII (reigned 1509-47). When building work was completed in around 1540, Hampton Court was the most modern, sophisticated and magnificent palace in England.
Just looking through my SD card, forgot I had these, from my trip to London, I have been a little off the boil of late when it comes to getting out with the camera, I have not been feeling that great of late, the doc soon sorted me out with some antibiotics, so hopefully I will be back on track soon.
Not to be confused with Hampton Court Palace, we recently visited Hampton Court Castle in Herefordshire. Dating from 1427, it was built by Sir Rowland Lenthall around a quadrangle. It was added to in the 18th century by James Wyatt and in the 19th by Wyattville. In 1994 the castle was bought by American businessman Robert Van Kampen, who filled it with a rather whimsical collection of fixtures and fittings that he felt were appropriate. It has a good café in what remains of a conservatory designed by Paxton, and 12 acres of well-maintained gardens in a range of designs.
Another chance to capture the colours and serenity of sunset at Hampton Pier, Herne Bay, Kent. This is a 106 second exposure of an incoming tide using a Lee Big Stopper (10 Stop) and CPL. It might look warm as toast, but it was actually really chilly and I'm glad I took my quilted jacket with me!
I'd imagined this shot a long time ago, but hadn't had the chance to get there when all the conditions were right.
