In the left of the image it looks as though part of the wall caved in was this a bricked in doorway? Do you now if this room was re-purposed when the building was occupied by soldiers?

It's such a peaceful scene, and the balcony and details look so attractive, and then you notice that the entire floor is missing. You don't want to just blindly walk through the door here, your first step would be your last.

The red and blue of the door are great accents for the neutral rest of the photo. Why is the padding on the outside of the door? (You can see the room's far corner in the left side of the shot.)

Two big doors telling the little door "You go down first and we'll follow". :)

I'm surprised the supreme leader of Russia let them paint him bald. If it were me and I was going for total dictatorial tyranny I'd have a full, thick head of hair.

I love the silvery look of the sun's reflections in the window glass.

Wow, they took the time to frame in and enclose the undersides of the stairs and put that wonderful fresco detail on. The lower left door looks like it has a really steep staircase, hidden in the shadows. I guess the banisters were wood and taken by someone.

Aaaah, the first lone chair shot. :)

The green and the blue on the doors are a perfect frame for the staircase perspective and outside trees.

Lovely colours and composition. I agree with eldokid - More, More More. (Isn't there a song of that name? :) I, too, love the old and new galleries.

anyone for a cook out?

Shades of the Cask of Amontillado

Can't you just hear the big band, chairs scraping the floor, and silverware clinking??

Hmm former ruler/medical doctor that was replaced & subsequently beheaded?

Any ideas on what these rooms are for?
