An elegant neoclassical gallery room with a domed skylight and crystal chandelier hanging from the center. The room features pale blue-grey walls with ornate decorative molding, wooden floorboards, and several white marble sculptures and busts displayed on pedestals. Two arched alcoves frame a doorway, and a decorative fireplace sits on the left wall. The natural light from the circular skylight illuminates the classical statuary throughout the space

One of the grander rooms of #DublinCastle - and one of the most #Georgian - entrance barred by a rope so easy to get a crowd free snap with a #vertorama

A grand double staircase with ornate black wrought iron railings ascends symmetrically on either side of a luxurious red carpet runner. The stairs meet at a central landing beneath tall windows draped with elaborate burgundy and gold curtains. An elegant crystal chandelier hangs from the ceiling, illuminating the cream-colored marble floors with black diamond insets. Fluted classical columns frame the entrance to this opulent interior space.

An elegant neoclassical corridor with a series of white barrel-vaulted ceilings adorned with ornate gold leaf detailing and decorative ceiling medallions. The hallway features polished herringbone parquet flooring, pale sage-green walls with white molding and baseboards, and is lit by spherical globe chandeliers suspended from each vault. Formal portraits in dark frames hang on both walls, and a decorative stone urn sits atop a dark pedestal on the left side. Classical architectural elements include arched doorways and Corinthian column capitals.

This grand ceremonial hall features an ornate neoclassical interior with deep blue walls flanked by gilded Corinthian columns. The vaulted ceiling showcases an elaborate painted fresco framed by intricate gold molding and decorative coffers. Two crystal chandeliers hang majestically from the ceiling. Heraldic banners and coats of arms line the upper walls, while gilt-framed mirrors and paintings create symmetry along the sides. The polished wooden floor reflects the room's splendor, and a few visitors sit quietly in the vast, elegant space.

This week a set from Dublin Castle in September #Ireland.

The centre of British power for centuries, but important part of independence and subsequent history of the Irish state.

A chamber most magnificent doth here present itself, wherein the ceiling's ornate dress of plasterwork and gilded rounds doth mirror the floor's geometric dance of stone in circles wrought. Columns of classical proportion stand as sentinels, whilst sculptured figures in marble white do grace their pedestals. Through windows tall, the light of heaven enters, illuminating walls bedecked with reliefs and moldings fine. A hearth of noble make rests 'neath an arch most cunningly devised, and benches twain invite repose. Thus doth this hall of neoclassical grandeur speak of ages past, when architecture was the very poetry of stone."

The entrance hall of Osterley House in W London. I had to stand in exactly the right spot.

And very suitable for #OpenHouse for the #BlueSkyArtShow as it's a house that is open.

This is a photograph of a magnificent Gothic cathedral choir with ornate wooden choir stalls lining both sides of a central aisle. The space features soaring ribbed vaulting in pale stone, pointed arches characteristic of Gothic architecture, and tall columns. An elaborate pipe organ is mounted on the back wall, framed by rich red fabric banners. The wooden choir stalls are intricately carved with detailed Gothic tracery and illuminated by small individual lamps. The floor displays a striking geometric pattern in cream, red, and blue tiles running down the center aisle. The symmetrical composition emphasizes the height and grandeur of the sacred space, with natural light filtering through from unseen windows creating a serene, contemplative atmosphere.

This elegant image captures a view from inside a grand historic building looking out through tall wooden double doors. The doors frame a classical glass-paneled entryway that opens onto a stone terrace, beyond which stretches a manicured formal garden with symmetrical lawns, sculpted topiaries, and mature trees beneath a partly cloudy sky. The interior features ornate architectural details including decorative moldings, curved walls with classical pilasters, and a polished wooden floor that follows the gentle curve of the rounded entrance hall. The composition draws the eye from the weathered grandeur of the interior through multiple frames to the pastoral landscape beyond, creating a sense of depth and the timeless elegance of a stately manor or palace.

I've concentrated on 'below stairs' but Emo Court has elegant rooms, a formal garden and extensive grounds. Here's looking out of a ground floor #window onto the terrace and #gardens.

A dimly lit stone tunnel with an arched brick ceiling curves gently into the distance. Weathered limestone walls show age and water damage, with patches of discoloration. Scattered leaves cover the concrete floor, and natural light filters through openings in the left wall, revealing glimpses of blue sky beyond. A metal handrail runs along the left side of the passage.

This is a tunnel from the basement leading away from the house so that the servants wouldn't be seen when they entered or left the house.

A narrow underground wine cellar with whitewashed brick walls and vaulted ceiling, featuring built-in shelving on both sides lined with vintage wine bottles. The perspective looks down a stone floor corridor with wooden barrels visible at the far end and a terracotta wine rack in the center of the passage. The rustic cellar shows age and character with its weathered surfaces and traditional wine storage layout.

Ornate domed ceiling viewed from below, featuring a circular coffered design with concentric rings of blue and white decorative panels radiating from a dark central medallion. The dome is framed by elaborate gold ornamental brackets at the cardinal points, with circular medallions and rectangular panels in the corners, all set against pale pink walls in classical architectural style.

1/5 Emo Court

This week snaps of Emo Court in #Ireland from a short trip in September. It's a country house well cared for by the Irish state. At the centre is a room that runs to the top of the house where it is capped by a #dome.

Overhead view of an intricately carved 15th-century wooden ceiling dome featuring an octagonal central star pattern with elaborate geometric Islamic designs. The coffered ceiling displays multiple layers of carved wooden panels radiating outward from the center, with intricate arabesque and geometric motifs throughout. The corners contain decorated triangular sections with calligraphic elements in red and cream tones. The entire composition is framed by an ornately carved border with repeating geometric patterns. The wood shows rich brown tones with detailed relief carving creating dramatic shadows and depth.

2/5 V&A Storehouse

A wooden dome from a palace in Torrijos, Spain. It was built in 1490. I had to lie on the floor to get this shot.

"Multi-story museum archive with visible storage collections on three levels. Glass-walled display cases and artifacts line both sides of wide corridors. Visitors walk through the central space examining exhibits, while natural light filters through a translucent ceiling. The industrial-style architecture features exposed beams and modern materials creating an open, transparent repository." This appears to be a "visible storage" style museum facility, where collections are stored in an accessible, educational way rather than hidden in traditional closed archives.

London's Victoria and Albert Museum have opened a new building in the Olympic Park near me in E London. The Storehouse is a warehouse for storing exhibits that is open to the public.

This stunning photograph captures the Long Room of Trinity College Library in Dublin, Ireland. The image shows a magnificent baroque hall with soaring barrel-vaulted wooden ceilings and tall bookshelves lining both sides, filled with ancient leather-bound volumes. Classical marble busts of notable scholars and philosophers are positioned on pedestals along the gallery. The dramatic focal point is a large suspended globe showing Earth from space, appearing to float majestically in the center of the historic hall. Museum visitors can be seen walking through the space, some pausing to examine a glass display case in the foreground, while others gaze up at the impressive globe installation. The warm golden lighting from the bookshelves creates a beautiful contrast with the natural tones of the wooden architecture, and the polished floor reflects the ambient light, adding to the grandeur of this celebrated library space.

Here's a non-tricksy shot of the Old #Library at Trinity. I am not sure the globe installation makes up for the bookless shelves (off for conservation), but this snap gives a good sense of scale.

Looking directly up at the vaulted wooden ceiling of a historic building, showing a central column with vertical wood paneling flanked by symmetrical barrel-vaulted bays. The warm honey-toned wood features decorative carved corbels, dark metal reinforcing bands around the column, and ribbed architectural details creating a rhythmic pattern that extends upward through multiple levels.

A charming English country house with distinctive red brick construction and terracotta tile roofing, featuring multiple chimneys and traditional architecture. The property sits at the edge of a well-maintained but slightly sun-dried lawn, surrounded by mature trees and lush hedgerow borders. The main house shows Arts and Crafts-style influences with its steep gabled roofs and prominent brickwork, while an attached wing extends to the left. The garden appears established and peaceful, with garden furniture visible in the distance, all set against a partly cloudy blue summer sky.

"Grand neoclassical interior entrance hall with tall white Corinthian columns supporting an ornate ceiling. The space features rich green walls, elaborate white plasterwork moldings, and a decorative frieze with swag patterns. A curved staircase with dark blue railings ascends to the upper level, flanked by ornate hanging lanterns. The floor appears to be stone or marble, and there are portrait paintings visible on the green walls in the background stairwell area. ."
