A highly-saturated photo of a Georgian townhouse in a terrace on a pedestrian street. The three storey building (plus attic and basement) dates from 1770. The ground floor is painted white up to a platband, above which is exposed Bath oolitic limestone. The first floor has an unusual balcony featuring a swept canopy with trellised supports.

A wide-angle, heavily-filtered photograph. It shows a highly-decorated arch spanning a pedestrianised street and linking two oolitic limestone Georgian buildings. People walk under the bridge-like structure which was built to disguise a large pipe. This duct was to bring warm spring water from the Roman baths on the left, to the City Laundry on the right.

In areas like Woodside, large numbers of tenement were then demolished in the post-war years to be replaced by high rise flats. Many of these are now being demolished themselves to be replaced by modern versions of tenements.

Glasgow had a quite a specific pattern of development as the city expanded. First, individual villas, like this one, were build on the outskirts of the city, then came the terraces of grand townhouses, followed by block of tenements as the population density increased. This is the last remaining original villa on the Woodside area of Glasgow.

Another of Glasgow's surviving Georgian villas. This one is on Saint George's Road and comes from the very end of the Georgian period in the 1830s.

One of the grander rooms of #DublinCastle - and one of the most #Georgian - entrance barred by a rope so easy to get a crowd free snap with a #vertorama

An elegant neoclassical gallery room with a domed skylight and crystal chandelier hanging from the center. The room features pale blue-grey walls with ornate decorative molding, wooden floorboards, and several white marble sculptures and busts displayed on pedestals. Two arched alcoves frame a doorway, and a decorative fireplace sits on the left wall. The natural light from the circular skylight illuminates the classical statuary throughout the space

A grand double staircase with ornate black wrought iron railings ascends symmetrically on either side of a luxurious red carpet runner. The stairs meet at a central landing beneath tall windows draped with elaborate burgundy and gold curtains. An elegant crystal chandelier hangs from the ceiling, illuminating the cream-colored marble floors with black diamond insets. Fluted classical columns frame the entrance to this opulent interior space.

An elegant neoclassical corridor with a series of white barrel-vaulted ceilings adorned with ornate gold leaf detailing and decorative ceiling medallions. The hallway features polished herringbone parquet flooring, pale sage-green walls with white molding and baseboards, and is lit by spherical globe chandeliers suspended from each vault. Formal portraits in dark frames hang on both walls, and a decorative stone urn sits atop a dark pedestal on the left side. Classical architectural elements include arched doorways and Corinthian column capitals.

1/5 #Dublin Castle

This week a set from a visit to Dublin Castle back in September on a short visit to #Ireland.

Largely 18th century it has a fascinating history as the centre of British power for centuries, but also as a crucial part of the independence process and subsequent history of the Irish state.

This grand ceremonial hall features an ornate neoclassical interior with deep blue walls flanked by gilded Corinthian columns. The vaulted ceiling showcases an elaborate painted fresco framed by intricate gold molding and decorative coffers. Two crystal chandeliers hang majestically from the ceiling. Heraldic banners and coats of arms line the upper walls, while gilt-framed mirrors and paintings create symmetry along the sides. The polished wooden floor reflects the room's splendor, and a few visitors sit quietly in the vast, elegant space.

Kinsale’s Waterfront Serenity

If you’ve ever been to Kinsale in Co Cork, you’ll immediately recognise the house and tree in the picture above. If you go back in my archives you’ll probably find a photo of it from another angle, but it’s so nice I thought I should take another photo. 🙂

TIL that style of large, spreading tree you see dominating this Kinsale scene is likely a Cedar of Lebanon (Cedrus libani), which became incredibly fashionable to plant on Irish estates during the Georgian and Victorian periods. These trees were imported from the eastern Mediterranean and became status symbols for wealthy landowners. Having a mature Cedar of Lebanon on your property basically announced “we’ve been here long enough to grow something this impressive.” They can live for over 1,000 years and develop those distinctive horizontal, layered branches that make them instantly recognisable. The tree in this photograph is probably 150-200 years old based on its size and shape, meaning it was likely planted sometime in the early to mid-1800s when Kinsale was thriving as a fishing port and naval base. So that tree has essentially witnessed the entire modern history of the town!

London is not only defined by its skyline of glass towers, but by the endless rhythm of its brick terraces. These rows of brownstones, born in the Georgian age, carry a stubborn continuity through centuries of upheaval. Empire rose and fell, industry blackened the air, recent developments unsettled the horizon - yet these façades remain, repeating window after window, chimney after chimney, like a metronome of urban life.

Their uniformity was once a vision of order, a way to tame the chaos of a swelling metropolis. Today they embody something else: resilience. Behind each window lives a different story, each chimney marks a different household, yet together they form the collective texture that makes London unmistakable. Even the stray cloud above seems to pause, as if held for a moment in the city’s steady brick cadence.

ÉALÚ emergency exit

An emergency exit sign spotted in the first floor window of a building in Kinsale, Co Cork. Despite the shadows, the sign gives a clue to the internal floor plan of the building. It looks a bit out of place, but it has to be there.

Georgian sash windows like this one were originally designed as a fire safety feature themselves. The large panes and sliding mechanism made them easy escape routes during emergencies, which is why many Georgian buildings have windows that open directly onto the street rather than requiring ladders to reach. The modern exit sign is actually continuing a 300-year-old tradition of prioritising safe evacuation!

"Grand neoclassical interior entrance hall with tall white Corinthian columns supporting an ornate ceiling. The space features rich green walls, elaborate white plasterwork moldings, and a decorative frieze with swag patterns. A curved staircase with dark blue railings ascends to the upper level, flanked by ornate hanging lanterns. The floor appears to be stone or marble, and there are portrait paintings visible on the green walls in the background stairwell area. ."

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.
