More exploration inside Turun Linna.
8354
Windowsun.
8355
A pretty complex niche. — Edit 4/24/2020: with intriguing markings(?) adjacent (or maybe slim objects adhered to the wall?)
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. — Edit 4/24/2020: lovin' the glyphic stone compositions on the far wall.
8409
A skyway between the two sides of the keep. — Edit 4/24/2020: interesting slightly-asymmetrically-arched windows.
8410
And below. — Edit 4/24/2020: and another eclipse sconce through the central window.
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.
