For some operator failure related reason my Friday post didn't appear. Here it is.

To finish this set from W London's Osterley House - splendidly presented by @nationaltrustlondon here are two ceilings.

4/5 Osterley House

Two shots of the main staircase. The first is another vertorama as you can't get far enough back to take it all in a single shot with my ultra-wide. The second is a #lookingup pic.

3/5 Osterley House

I wanted to get the carpet and ceiling into this shot of the #Tapestry Room. So I did a multishot #vertorama - a weird perspective but a sense of how the room takes your breath away.

2/5 Osterley House

This is the entrance hall from where I took yesterday's pic. (Though it's not where visitors enter today - rather a jaw-dropping surprise.) @nationaltrustlondon

The long gallery at Syon House, Isleworth, London, England. April 2024. The last of five rooms redesigned by Robert Adam at this London residence of the Duke of Northumberland. After some centuries of candle smoke and lamp smoke, the original bright blue/pink colour scheme has dulled somewhat and the vast effort of cleaning it is daunting. Sample attempts with specially colour-matched Farrow & Ball paint in recent decades negatively interacted with the underlying colour, so was abandoned.

An ante-room at Syon House, Isleworth, London, England. This was used for meet-and-greet purposes. The house is the London home of the Duke of Northumberland who lives at Alnwick Castle. Design is by Robert Adam, all classical symmetry and fake columns. The giant urn in the centre was a present from King Charles X of France, in thanks to those who attended his coronation. April 2024.
