The Grand Staircase

This is our alternative location for group photos when it is raining. I went out onto the terrace to set up for the photo and it started pouring just as I stepped out. So, I turned around, passed some of the guests from the tour group and told them we would shoot the photo on the grand staircase instead and motioned to the nearby stairs. I went and set up and took this photo as I waited for the group to arrive.
