Hi, Folks...

don't feel like to do much on weekend, so I am posting here one from my vacation album & an excerpt from the net to complement it.

beside the excerpt, FYI, two Malaysian entertainers, a male and a female, had performed there. The former was on a competition which he won.

The excerpt:
The Royal Albert Hall of Arts and Sciences is an arts venue dedicated to Queen Victoria's husband and consort, Prince Albert. It is situated in the Knightsbridge area of the City of Westminster, London, England.

The Royal Albert Hall is one of the UK's most treasured and distinctive buildings, recognisable the world over. Since its opening by Queen Victoria in 1871, the world's leading artists from every kind of performance genre have appeared on its stage. Each year it hosts more than 350 performances including classical concerts, rock and pop, ballet and opera, tennis, award ceremonies, school and community events, charity performances and lavish banquets.

The Hall was originally supposed to have been called The Central Hall of Arts and Sciences, but the name was changed by Queen Victoria when laying the foundation stone. It forms the practical part of a national memorial to the Prince Consort - the decorative part is the Albert Memorial directly to the north in Kensington Gardens, now separated from the Hall by the heavy traffic along Kensington Gore. The Hall also accommodates the second largest pipe organ in the UK (Liverpool Cathedral regains the title with the addition of the Central organ), and is the home of The Proms.

As the best known building within the cultural complex known as Albertopolis, the Hall is commonly and erroneously thought to lie within the Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea. The Hall is actually within the area of the City of Westminster. The site was part of the former Kensington Gore estate which was historically part of Knightsbridge.

Thanks for viewing

Agoes

Macam ada satu urang yang tulung chief di sebelah kiri, satu urang sebelah kanan sambil pigang itu tape penyukat. "Ok, kanan sudah ngam?" "Kiri... cukup?" Simetrikal la chief, macam Jusni cakap. Sayang betul itu bunting biru kena tiup angin. Tapi kecik punya hal... Yang penting, pov yang cukup baik untuk gambar simetrik bangunan.
Salam,
Ndan.

Cheer up Agoes,
Seen some good play and concerts the I suppose. You have captured this one in almost symmetrical perfection. Beautiful architecture digitized in details. While you are shooting this, I'm sure you have looked behind you and take a snap of the statue as well. Maybe we'll see in the next post... :-)

Regards,
Jusni

Hi Agoes

This landmark is a must-visit for most people, especially concert-lovers. You have captured it fully framed and in good details. Great composition.

Well done. TFS

Hi Agoes,

Wow!! Terrific building well reproduced. Nice colors and POV. Missing sky is a bit of problem here, but, I guess, that was a cloudy day. I like the way you have included the vehicles which gives a feeling of how big it is. Nicely done. TFS.

Kiran.
