One last #WeekOforOpulent The early 19th cent Pillar Hall at Belsay was intended to impress, fashioned in the Greek Revival style. The doric pillars supporting the portico are copied from an Athenian temple. The architect looked to Rome for the layout, based on the ancient villa #AlphabetChallenge
One wing of a white and grey baroque Palace. There are windows on two levels and towers and pinnacles on the roof. In front of the Palace is a pool with a low stone edge which perfectly reflects the buildings, surrounding trees and the blue sky.
When you have such a magnificent Palace of course you need a pool to reflect it! #AlphabetChallenge #WeekOforOpulent #photography #dailyphoto #Palaces #travel #Portugal

The going rate for a Georgian token of affection was a silver sixpence.
This guy had some serious cash to splash on his loved one.
A Gold quarter guinea, five shillings & threepence
(I have found two of these on the farm)
A quirky still life arrangement sits on a tiled windowsill against two large windows featuring colourful stained glass panels. The items on the sill include a perfume bottle with reeds sticking out of the top, a clear glass decanter, several small perfume bottles, and an oval mirror leaning against the window frame. A wooden sun face sculpture is prominent on the left. The walls are covered in a whimsical wallpaper featuring large fish.
Iโm always left a little speechless after visiting my friendโs downstairs loo! ๐๐๐
