Royal Windsor

This photo is shot by me with my old film camera in Windsor Royal station which is more shopping center now a days than a station, the only train is between the nearest towns.
I have that chance to live near it, in Eaton wick, wich is very close to Windsor, just a quick walk by the river Thames bank and you are in Windsor and what a lovely walk:)
