Description
One of the highlights in Colonial Williamsburg, Virginia has to be the Governor's Palace decorated for Christmas, The palace is set at the head of a long green rectangle viewable from Francis Street and Lafayette Street. This photo was taken at sunset with some alpenglow visible near the horizon.
The Governor's Palace in Williamsburg, Virginia was the official residence of the Royal Governors of the Colony of Virginia. It was also a home for two of Virginia's post-colonial governors, Patrick Henry and Thomas Jefferson, until the capital was moved to Richmond in 1780, and with it the Governor's residence. The main house burned down in 1781, though the outbuildings survived for some time after.
The Governor's Palace was reconstructed in the 1930s on its original site. It is one of the two largest buildings at Colonial Williamsburg, the other being the Capitol.
