Description
This is Her Majesty's Royal Palace and Fortress, more commonly known as the Tower of London and historically as “The Tower”. It is a located in central London and located on the north bank of the River Thames. It is the oldest building used by the British government. The Crown Jewels of the United Kingdom are displayed in this complex. My “Change of the Guard” posting, is at the entrance to the Jewel House. The center building is the “White Tower” built by William the Conqueror in 1078. In the 1190s, King Richard the Lionheart (reigned 1189-99) enclosed the White Tower, with a curtain wall and had a moat dug around it, filled with water from the Thames. My recent “Tower Bridge” posting was taken from the river walls of this fortress.

Great capture and information Dana!
They also have some mighty fine ravens that site around the old gallows!
The superstition goes that if the tower ever loses its Ravens it will mean the end of London.
Really nice capture Dana. :)
