File:Admiralty Extension from Horse Guards Parade - Sept 2006.jpg

Original - The Admiralty Extension, built in the late 19th century, is the largest of Admiralty Buildings built to house the authority responsible for the command of the Royal Navy in the United Kingdom. Redesigned while under construction to accommodate the extra offices needed due to the naval arms race with the German Empire, it served as the headquarters of the Admiralty until 1964 when it was subsumed into the Ministry of Defence in nearby Whitehall.

• Support - Excellent detail and lens aperture
  • Comment - There´s a strange reticule in some parts of the image (for example in the circular windows of the upper central part). Is that part of the building? - ☩Damërung ☩. -- 00:16, 16 October 2009 (UTC)

• I assume you're referring to the netting that is hanging over that part of the structure, to protect the building from the filth of the ubiquitous London pigeon. If you look a little further to the right, you can see the netting clearly against the sky. Maedin\^talk 06:21, 16 October 2009 (UTC)

Thanks, then I keep my support vote for the image (I thought it was some error in the photo). - ☩Damërung ☩. -- 00:08, 18 October 2009 (UTC)
