Photograph taken looking up at a sturdy yet decorative wooden chandelier at the Tudor wonder of Speke Hall, Liverpool. One of my former offerings (from the same room) was suspended by an arm...so why not also show some faces! No further body parts, I promise! Dark wood, multi-layer chandelier, with carved faces protruding from the octagonal (I think) sides of the lowest tier. Carved patterns on the sides of each arm, each topped by a warm candle bulb (obviously not original). Chandelier hangs from a hefty chain.

Photograph taken inside the Great Hall at Tudor wonder, Speke Hall in Liverpool. Second outing for this photograph but it fits well with today's theme, and who doesn't like gleaming weaponry? Image captured looking up at the large chandelier with candle bulbs and the leaded glass windows beyond in the beautiful wood panelled, double-height room. The chandelier's light reflects as an amber glow on the replica pole axe (halberd) blades of the weaponry displayed over the mantlepiece. Love Speke Hall. Such a great day out and they have brilliant community events, like apple harvesting in autumn and a professionally organised second hand bookshop.

Photograph taken inside the Great Hall at Tudor wonder, Speke Hall in Liverpool. This is really pushing the boundaries of the 'festive lights' theme but it gives a lovely warm glow and in you imagine holly somewhere... Image captured looking up at the large chandelier with candle bulbs and the leaded glass windows beyond in the beautiful wood panelled, double-height room. The chandelier's light reflects as an amber glow on the replica pole axe (halberd) blades of the weaponry displayed over the mantlepiece. Love Speke Hall. Went to a Christmas event there as a child. Distinctly remember the Tudor-costumed people wandering about with trays of mince pies, imparting their historical knowledge, the live Tudor music in the Great Hall and devouring rum and raisin fudge from a stall in the grounds.

The stunning architectural feature of Ottawa's National Gallery is the Great Hall. Encased in glass windows that plunge from floor to ceiling and provide spectacular views of Parliament Hill. Inside, several clear acrylic bistro tables and chairs for the floor space. A couple sitting to the far right are enjoying the beautiful views. Shadows of the windows reflect onto the floor. It is a beautiful summer day, with surrounding trees in full foliage.

The Great Hall within the original Lethington Tower at Lennoxlove House. The image shows a large stone room with a high vaulted stone ceiling. There’s a large fireplace at the far end surmounted by a coat of arms and large paintings hang on both side walls. The floor is of polished wood.

The magnificent Great Hall within the original Lethington Tower at Lennoxlove House near Haddington in East Lothian, which dates back at least six centuries. More pics and info: www.undiscoveredscot...

Grandeur of Toronto's Union Station trough a fisheye After dinner we headed to downtown Toronto, Ontario, Canada. The Union Station was designed in the architectural style of the École des Beaux-Arts in Paris. Construction started in 1914, and the station officially opened in 1027. The fisheye lens shot brings out the grand style of the main hall. -- ƒ/4.0, 12 mm, 1/45, 1/10, 0.3 sec, ISO 400, Sony A7 II, Rokinon 12mm F2.8, HDR, CC BY-NC-SA 4.0, © 2025 Peter Thoeny, @Quality HDR Photography
