Deep blue water and block design at the bottom in a pool with statues and pergolas and trees surrounding. Rolling hills in the background
Hearst Castle outside pool is so inviting. Tour guides say many people “accidentally” fall into it in the summer months 😜

This slideshow is of the “Holiday Twilight Tour” at Hearst Castle, where I discovered why the holiday season was an exceptionally festive time for William Randolph Hearst and his guests. 🏰

Earlier this month, I also visited Hearst Castle.
This slideshow is of the “Upstairs Suites Tour,” where we explored the upper floors of Casa Grande, and ascended its winding staircases to see how media mogul William Randolph Hearst and his esteemed guests lived at the Castle. 🏰

The blue tiled indoor swimming pool, designed by architect Julia Morgan, with light from the arched windows reflecting off of the water surface. Lights, statues and carved ceiling design complete the stunning decor.

Painted in Paris in 1864, this royal portrait celebrates Charlotte of Belgium as the newly styled Empress Carlota of Mexico at the dawn of the Second Mexican Empire. German artist Franz Xaver Winterhalter, Europe’s pre-eminent court portraitist, was commissioned to portray the imperial couple; a companion portrait of Emperor Maximilian forms the pair. The artist’s signature polish served politics: smooth textures, controlled light, and impeccable fashion declared legitimacy for a fragile throne. She appears three-quarter length against a smooth, violet-gray background. The young royal with light skin turns slightly left with a calm, indirect gaze. Her dark brown hair is center-parted and drawn back into a long braid, decorated at the back with small pink flowers as a floral, jewel-studded tiara rests above a fine, translucent veil that falls behind her shoulders. She wears an elegant off-the-shoulder pink gown with wide satin bands and layered ivory lace ruffles across the bodice and sleeves plus jeweled brooches. A thick gold and jeweled necklace circles her neck. A sheer tulle shawl swirls across her forearms and the pink skirt. On her wrists are gold bracelets. Soon after their arrival in Mexico City in June 1864, Charlotte acted as regent during Maximilian’s absences, presiding over ceremonies and reforms from Chapultepec. The promise proved brief. As French military support ebbed, she sailed to Europe in 1866 to plead for aid; the mission failed, her health collapsed, and Maximilian was executed in 1867. Charlotte lived on in Belgium until 1927. Seen from that arc, the portrait fixes a moment of radiant certainty with satin brilliance, imperial orders, and youthful resolve … just before history turned. Its survival at Hearst Castle, far from Paris and Mexico City, underscores how images of power survive even when empires do not.

Near San Simeon on California's central coast is The Hearst Castle... and it is quite the sight to see! The day we went, no tours inside, but there was still a lot to see out on the grounds. #sansimeon #california #pacificcoast #hearstcastle #scenic #scenery #sightseeing #checkthisout

Step inside the legendary Hearst Castle, the magnificent California estate that inspired the fictional Xanadu in Citizen Kane. This is the tale of a media king's boundless ambition and the cinematic shadow that changed his legacy forever. #HearstCastle #CitizenKane #WilliamRandolphHearst #JuliaMorga

Indoor Roman pool with blue and gold mosaic tiles.
Toured the opulent and massive #HearstCastle today. Perhaps my favorite part of the estate: the indoor Roman pool with its mosaic tiles. Truly stunning.

This is a very old Film Photo of the indoor Pool at Hearst Castle in San Simeon, California.
Not sure what camera or Film I was using, but this was taken in the early 1970s.
I have not been back to Hearst Castle since.
