An American friend was in Windsor on business and I took a day off to meet up with her. I deliberately arrived earlier than our appointed meeting time in Windsor to give myself time for some photography.
These pictures were captured using a Pentax K10D digital SLR camera.

It was daylight when I arrived, and I took these two pictures from the Windosr side of the River Thames looking across to the Eton side. The bridge is a footbridge. |

There were numerous very tame swans which were obviously used to being fed by passing tourists. However I photographed this one in the middle of the river. |

I had hopes of a good sunset as the weather man had promised one. In the event, the river doesn't line up with the sunset in late November, but I photographed it through the trees along the river bank. |

I made use of the twilight to take some more pictures after the sun had gone down. I had to work hard when editing these to get any detail into parts of them, and I'm pleased with the effect I've achieved. |

You can't go to Windsor and not get a picture of Windsor Castle! Here are two, which show only a small portion of the castle, as I didn't have time to walk and find a better viewpoint. They had switched the lights on inside by the time I took the second picture. |

I walked to the east side of the bridge to take these pictures. They are much the same, but the one on the left is a slightly better overall picture, while the one on the right has better sky, so I included both! |

I hadn't realised how close Eton was to Windsor, but I couldn't miss realising it when I walked over the footbridge and the first thing I saw was this "Welcome to Eton" Christmas banner. |

I considered The George to be a photogenic pub, and I took several pictures of it, and this was the one I liked best. |

The Christmas decorations in Eton were simple but effective. |

These pictures were taken as the twilight deepened. |

I took photos until about 40 minutes after sunset, and then I packed up my camera and tripod and went and met my friend in Brown's, which was just nearby where I'd been doing my photography. |
