Reading room (palace smoking room)

We had missed this room last time around so went back specifically to see it. It was magnificent with its two spiral staircases, enormous fireplace and elaborate ceiling. I really wish this room hadn't been in use because it was a bit tricky to photograph, and I couldn't help but think that I was disturbing the students reading with my shutter!

What a beautifully decorated room. I especially like the ceiling and the spiral stairs. Very nicely photographed from this vantage point. Very sharp and clear. "V"

It's a beautiful room, great to see it open to the public, and you have certainly done it justice with this shot. V
