Wall to Wall Paintings

at the "Small Italian Skylight Hall " in the amazing Winter Palace - now the Hermitage Museum
I was there with a busload of tourists ... for each photo I stayed behind and tried to capture the architecture without people ... no flash used :-)

    Sct. Petersburg - oh, it is one of the cities I very much want to, I am pleased you so've been there. It is very difficult to reproduce this glorious room, I thought that you have succeeded very well.

    Eine sehr gute Aufnahme. Mit den roten Wänden und ohne Blitz gar nicht einfach zu fotografieren.
    Herzliche Grüße an Dich

    Yes the old world has alot of treasures! Tracing back history
    lets us imagine how much the kings and lords pressed out of
    their people in order to finance and build things like this.
    Very good capture...regards Berthold

    i feel overwhelmed by all the cool (upper realms) and hot (red walls) splendor and watched by the resolute male angel (?) – arms akimbo! – from his elevated square in the ceiling! ; ) what a beautiful room indeed! despite its interior magnificence, it still radiates a strangely intimate warmth! beautifully captured once again, adele! and onec again i love the almost three-dimensional feel to it! hugs, sabine. p.s.: remember visiting a small art museum in russia once. we were the only visitors and went from room to room. whenever we enter one room, the light would suddenly come on and the gallery attendant on her chair in the corner would start from her sleep – so funny!
