The Palace of Flowers: A grand and highly ornamented reception room, the Phul Mahal was constructed by Abhay Singh, son of Ajit Singh, in the mid – 18th century. This elevated room is less accessible, and would not have been used for receiving outside visitors but for more restricted male assemblies. It was probably intended as a private audience hall, where the ruler could confer with his thakurs and ministers, and perform certain personal rituals, such as the celebration of birthdays. Being open to the breeze, the room could also have served for some leisure pursuits such as listening to music. The architectural style of the interior – with its balustered and fluted columns – is derived from the palaces of Shah Jehan; though the outer casing, with elaborate jaali work, is typical of this part of Rajasthan. The paintings of the columns and walls are original, but the ceiling and its cornice were repainted in the mid 19th century, in the reign of Takhat Singh: his portrait and those of his sons feature in the scheme.

The upstairs ceiling in the most recent abandoned find. Light coming in from bedrooms on either side made for some nice shadows.
As I was shooting upstairs, chunks of insulation fell off the walls because of the strong breezes blowing through the house. A fairly open 2nd floor + no windows = cold as shit on a 25 degree day.
As I was leaving through the open front door, I noticed an officer of the County out front. Thought better of walking right out, so I pocketed my SD card, swapped it with another blank one, and went out the side down. Down to the street and passed the visitor. Maybe a bit paranoid, but like Kurt Cobain said "Just because you're paranoid doesn't mean they're not after you."
Walking through the Palm Room in the Waldorf Hilton at Aldwych in London, the glass ceiling detail is wonderfully lit from behind with sodium halide lighting.
Winchester Cathedral.
At the centre of the picture is a round wooden door which can be opened to allow bells to be hoisted into and out of the tower.
