Thanks for the thumbs up. Much appreciated.
Yeah, ornate plus. Most of the work was done when the purportedly richest man in the world owned the place. I guess he had to do something with the money. Sort of like Biltmore.
Really fine captures of the interior!
Thank you, Raymond. Lots to capture your attention in a place like that.
Excellent set Tom! It looks like a wonderful place to visit and you captured it well. Love the ceiling shot.
Nice architecture shots, Tommy!
Great series and amazing architecture, Tommy.
