    This looks like my old house only smaller. These are wonderful. I agree that the pov in #2 is great. It would be nice to see it in landscape view. Excellent shots.

    What is the flag they're flying? No Union Jack?

    Nice series Karin, I really like the 2nd one as well.

    Paul,

    It's the Royal Standard of the United Kindom, known as "The Standard" and flys over any of the Queens official homes to show she is in residence.
