3 of a Kind


The crowds around Buckingham Palace, London, England made it very difficult to take pictures of these three of the Queen's Guards. Well, it was difficult to take pictures of anything other than crowds. Taken by Theodore Scott

A Noble Christmas

Planet Earth Daily Photo will be resting until January the Second, 2008 (MMVIII). Thanks to all contributors, commentators and visitors over the last seven months. Please send in your global submissions ready for the New Year.
Thanks to Elliott for this seasonal shot. Peace, Rich


"Blenheim Palace was built at the start of the 18th century by John Churchill, 1st Duke of Marlborough; paid for by the nation as a gift to him in return for his brilliant military triumph against the French. His descendent, Winston Churchill was born here in 1874 in a small room just behind this grand entrance. During December the palace is beautifully decorated for Christmas in the 'grand' style. Well worth a visit". Taken by Elliott

"The Royal Palace in Stockholm, Sweden, is situated on the island of Gamla Stan - one of the many islands in the Stockholm Archipelago. This picture taken in the late evening on a beautiful sunny day shows it at its best". Taken by Mike
