Windowsun.

8355

A pretty complex niche.

8361

Blue-ribbon windowseat.

8362

A 3-torus of rooms.

8363

Shelf: utilitarian in detail, but perfectly consonant with the masonry walls.

8369

A rather dramatic throne within a display room.

8386

Totally sweet Bryggman-designed (I assume) vault in (I think) the attic of the keep.

8388

The combination of the original medieval construction with Bryggman's well-integrated elegant, lighter insertions is almost too great for my critical-regional brain to handle.

8394

Oh look a bunch more niches.

8408

The coatroom area beyond the lobby.

8409

A skyway between the two sides of the keep.

8410

And below.

8412

Courtyard sky.

8413

Kind of a fisheye thing happening in this shot.

8421

Wallsun.

8422

More wallsun.

8426

Back out in the front courtyard.

8429

The front of the bailey.

8431

Courtyard sun.

8435

From the inside of the porch at the front of the keep; stairs descend to the courtyard on both sides of the porch, but not in front.

8441

Kourtyard komposition.
