Several people commented about how precariously balanced these small domes looked, so here's a closeup of one with more exterior details.

Ditto Bill's comment - and those domes look even more precarious from this angle ! V

Fairytale architecture and such intricate designs in the facade. Super exposure for this shot! V

A very fine capture,Helen.. I wouldn't want to be standing there during a earthquake.. :))

Fine composition and reproduction, of these awesome details. I see it needs a little restauration though. V

the open access to the underside of the domes is evidently deliberate and I would love to speculate that it is something to do with natural cooling….only can's how it possibly could
