phoning it in

ehhh don't rly feel like typing so here are a few pictures from what i've been doing lately:


The Circus
one of the 3 Bath masterworks of John Wood in the Georgian style



The Pump Room
Beautiful formal dining room adjacent to the Roman Baths where nobility used to sit and drink the warm, stanky mineral waters. (Dramatized in the movie The Duchess, much of which took place in Bath)




Cardiff Castle House
Gaudy Victorian mess built on a Norman castle built on a Roman fort of some kind. Interiors to put Liberace to shame.




Cardiff Castle House interior
Blurry picture of an ornate ceiling in the winter smoking room, not to be confused with the summer smoking room. Gold leaf for days.




Another interior ceiling





Cardiff Castle Keep
The legit (in my opinion) castle of the Cardiff Castle complex. No frills--a place to hide when the hoards attack, complete with moat.



anyway, hopefully that's better than no post at all.

All very impressive, (for a clip-show)post. Let me know when you come across the famed swamp castle from Monte Pyton's Holy Grail - http://www.videosift.com/video/Monty-Python-Swamp-Castle-What-the-curtains - That has to be one hell of a structure.
