Among the many adventures I took while in the United Kingdom, Windsor Castle was one of the most memorable. It’s grand structure, beautiful landscape and breathtaking surroundings are a photographer’s utopia.

Windsor Castle is a medieval castle and royal residence in Windsor, located in the English county of Berkshire. The castle survived a tumultuous period during the English Civil War, where it was used as military headquarters for Parliamentary forces.

Just over 20 miles west of Charing Cross, Windsor contains some of the most expensive and desirable housing in the UK. It was in this town that I purchased my first souvenir of the trip, a silver “Team GB” Olympic bracelet.
