Looking Up At Cardiff Castle

The English architect William Burges was the visionary responsible for the Gothic Revival creation commissioned by Lord Bute.  Some of the most spectacular executions are the ceilings throughout the castle.  The gilded example above is absolutely breathtaking.  I was lucky enough to view this magnificent space which is typically off the public tour!  I can't begin to imagine the value of the real gold that was used to decorate this room.

Another highly detailed example...

Rich colors and detailed decorative painting throughout...

If you get the opportunity to visit Cardiff Castle, you'll spend a great deal of time whilst you're there looking up.  I'll be back soon with more lovely images!
