Brighton Pavillion by Day

Brighton Pavilion (or the Onion Palace, as it has been known), and its surrounding arches and bits, is a fascinating piece of royal whimsy and good fun for taking photographs around. We didn't go in this time but you can walk all the way round the outside and click away to your heart's content.

 
A very imposing gateway

 
Wonderfully detailed domes (onions of the nickname).
 

Towers, pillars and colonnades aplenty.


Stone railings that are detailed like metal ones.


Very detailed tracery


And altogether the aspect of a piece of architecture from another place entirely


It is lit at night and I will show you the pictures I took tomorrow. It would make great film set and reminded us of Luigi's Mansion.
