They had been out by the triathlon activities and suddenly turned around and marched back into the palace. I guess their break was over!

Their helmets look great, but may not be waterproof, that is why they suddenly went in:) V

An impressive shot of these guards. I like the contrast of the old spiked helmets and modern automatic weapons. "V"

Great photo of the Palace Guard. Reminds me of 1966 when I went guard dressed in these old uniforms!

At least they have raincoats to protect them from the rain. They look young to me though...

Excellent capture of these guards! V Love their fancy hats (though I'd hate to sit on one by accident).
