"You wanna see a secret passage?" the old security guard asked me.
"Are you kidding?" I asked.
And with that, he showed me how to get up into this area. It wasn't super-duper-secret, since this is how singers used to get up high to entertain the guests below.
I'm glad I'm not one of those people that has to choose who sits where in these big banquet events. I think people in these situations really get their nose out of joint if they don't get to sit next to so-and-so. But, if you're hanging out and dining in Hearst Castle, you have to look pretty hard to find something to complain about! :)

This is Benji Walters from Coplow:-) We met him and his companion in a pub where we had stopped off for lunch on route to our holiday cottage.
Benji had his own lunch but wasn't very keen on it. The landlord of the pub said he had a regular who came in every Friday with his dog for lunch and they always cooked a couple of sausages for the dog as a treat. He offered to do the same for Benji! And so Benji had sausages for lunch:-)
I suppose all us animal 'owners' will understand the hygiene going on here - lol
Happy Furry Friday everyone!
Wishing you all a fabulous weekend
There was a small gallery in the Carneige Museum of Art (Cleveland, Ohio) displaying a number of rooms of dollhouse furniture. The colleciton of miniatures came from the estate of Sarah Mellon Siaife. The miniature rooms were modeled after actual rooms in her former country home in Ligonier, Pennsylvania (which has since been demolished). This dining room was my favorite.
Andrássy chateau, Tiszadob, Hungary
This unique dining room was commissioned in 1896 by count Tivadar Andrássy and originally designed for his Budapest palace. The most famous Art Nouveau painter of Hungary, Rippl-Rónai was entrusted to carry out the design and oversee other artists and craftsmen creating this space.
Later the entire set up was transported to this chateau to Tiszadob. In 1918-19 most of it was destroyed. Only the upper 3 window panes of the stained windows remained intact. The rest is reconstruction.
Overall design: József Rippl-Rónai
Stained glass window: Miksa Róth
Stained glass ceiling: James Pitcairn Knowles
Furniture: Endre Thék
China: Herendi Manufacture
In the original dining room hung the embroidery titled "Lady in Red",
designed by Rippl-Rónai, executed by his wife: Lazarine Boudrion
The Junee Roundhouse, or loco, as it was called, was the last steam depot built in NSW and as such was the pinnacle of steam depot development in the state.

A look down into the dining hall at Taliesin - since the students weren't meant to linger over their meals, the furniture is deliberately uncomfortable, but damn, it looks great doesn't it? The students built it all as well, mostly out of plywood and that is done througout the building.
DPS assignment: Warm colors
I was running out of ideas and this was a spontaneous shot I took during the family dinner last weekend. :)
Today's photo tour sends us to Mexico, in Epcot's World Showcase, as we dine at the San Angel Inn Restaurante. I really love the atmosphere of this place. I have to admit that I have never eaten here but always wanted to. The food looks really good and the ambiance is very inviting. Have you ever eaten here before? Have a magical day!
DH built unit 8'L, 4'T, 7"D along dining room wall for CDs and DVDs. Empty shelves toward the camera now hold TBP books, mostly series.
One flash bounced off the ceiling behind and to the left of camera and one bounced far out to the left in the living room.
Wish I had rotated the flowers clockwise to hide the errant leaves...they look like birds, and I hate how they're blocking the pillow. This was the last shot of the day. I find that my attention to detail sometimes falters towards the end of a shoot (fatigue?) Ugh. Anyone else ever experience this?
This was shot for a designer.
Feedback and suggestions are always much appreciated. Thanks!
