The Palace of Westminster is the meeting place of the House of Commons and the House of Lords, the two houses of the Parliament of the United Kingdom. Commonly known as the Houses of Parliament after its occupants, the Palace lies on the north bank of the River Thames in the City of Westminster, in central London.
This little gem of a palace set in huge grounds was also built by King Ludwig II and it was the only one of his palatial homes that was completed during his lifetime.
Similar to an earlier shot of this palace, but this time clicked after the individual LEDs were switched off with only the floodlights illuminating the magnificent structure. This was just before all the lights were switched off and the palace grounds closed for the night.

The Bourse Palace (French: Palais de la Bourse; Dutch: Beurspaleis), often simply called the Bourse is a former stock exchange building in Brussels, Belgium. It was previously the seat of the Brussels Stock Exchange (BSE). Since 2023, its upper floors have housed the Belgian Beer World museum.
Designed by the architect Léon-Pierre Suys, in an eclectic style mixing borrowings from neo-Renaissance and Second Empire architecture, the building was erected from 1868 to 1873 on the site of the former Butter Market, itself built over a former Franciscan convent whose remains have been unearthed. It is located on the Boulevard Anspach/Anspachlaan, and is the namesake of the Place de la Bourse/Beursplein, which is, after the Grand-Place/Grote Markt, the second most important square in Brussels.

When I am preparing to take a photograph with some of my older cameras, I sometimes remember to take a reference photograph with my phone. After a little tweaking, I have decided that I quite like this one, and so here it is.

Now we are going to see the park around the palace :)
Slavkov Castle (also known as Austerlitz Castle) is a Baroque palace in Slavkov u Brna, in the Czech Republic. A first castle at the site was erected by the Teutonic Knights in the early 12th century, then the seat of a commandry within their Bohemian bailiwick. In the early 16th century it passed to the Moravian noble house of Kaunitz (Kounicové) who had it rebuilt in a Renaissance style. The present-day palace with 115 rooms was erected from 1696 onwards according to plans designed by the Italian architect Domenico Martinelli. The impressive garden in a French style modelled on the Gardens of Versailles was laid out in 1774. In the oval ceremonial hall (the "Historic Salon"), an armistice was signed between Austria and France after the Battle of Austerlitz on 6 December 1805. There is a small historic museum and a multimedia presentation about the battle. In 2008, the palace was included in the List of National Cultural Monuments.

Teraz jeszcze rzut oka na pałac i idziemy na spacer do parku :)
Pałac w Sławkowie - jedna z najstarszych siedzib szlacheckich na Morawach. Znajduje się kilka kilometrów od Brna. Pałac jest wpisany na listę Narodowych zabytków Kultury. Pierwsze pisemne wzmianki o pałacu pochodzą z XIII w. kiedy to istniała tu komenda zakonu krzyżackiego. W XVI w. za Oldřicha III z Kounic wzniesiono na starszych fundamentach pałac. W kolejnym stuleciu dokonano rozbudowy zamku. Zleceniodawcą był Dominik Ondřej z Kounic. Nową część zamku zaprojektował włoski architekt Dominik Martinelli, freski na większości z sufitów namalował Andrea Lanzani, a rzeźby do dziś zdobiące park wykonał Giovanni Giuliani. Po wygaśnięciu linii rodu Kouniców zamek przeszedł do rąk rodu Pálffy. Po drugiej wojnie rezydencja stała się własnością Czechosłowacji. W skład kompleksu pałacowego wchodzi rozległy park z kilkoma basenami i wystrojem rzeźbiarskim Giovanniego Giulianiego.
The Great Hall Winchester Palace. Winchester Palace was the largest palace of the Bishops of Winchester for over 500 years. It was built for William Giffard, Bishop of Winchester, in 1109. He used it as a London residence when carrying out royal or administrative state business. The Great Hall and adjoining parts of the Bishops' House were rebuilt in around 1340. In 1540, Henry VIII probably met Catherine Howard, his fifth bride, at the house. The last bishop to live there was Lancelot Andrewes who died in 1626. In 1642 it was converted to a prison for royalists. It remained a prison for five years. At the Restoration it was returned to the See of Winchester but was in such a bad state that the Bishop let it out as tenements and it deteriorated even further. In 1814 a fire destroyed most of the building. The main surviving feature is the rose window and its tracery in the Great Hall, measuring 13 feet in diameter. This forms part of a wall standing to a height of 50 feet. This property is now (2011) in the care of English Heritage.

The rose garden of Rundāle palace is located on both sides of the ornamental parterre, filling up the areas designed by architect Francesco Rastrelli. Roses were not planted there during the 18th century.
The largest part of the rose garden is taken up by modern roses, which have been grouped by colours, in order for it to be possible to compare the work of various breeders in the formation of a single colour variation. The area closest to the parterre is planted with English roses that resemble old garden roses. There are 52 rose circles dedicated to separate breeders or countries – in them varieties created by 72 breeders from 17 countries can be viewed. Collections of historical roses have been created in the six furthermost beds of the garden. There are rose hedges formed along the eastern and western walls of the garden.
The Rose garden project was started in 2005 and was financially supported by “Latvijas Mobilais Telefons”. The garden was created with a significant help from the Latvian Army and many volunteers.
In total, there are 2230 rose varieties including 600 historical varieties grown in the garden of Rundāle Palace. Although most of the historical varieties only bloom once from late May until mid July, the modern varieties, on the other hand, can flower repeatedly until the first frost. The rose gardens displaying the diversity of species through their forms and hybrids are also very interesting in autumn when visitors are captivated by a variety of colours and forms of rose hips.
