Done and dusted - Baroque style - # 09/162


The toil of the last couple of weeks is done, and the great baroque house (1610) by the Thames is illuminated and decorated,  ready for its Christmas programme.  The Emperors around the wall seem to look satisfied with the treatment we've given them.

Here's a quick shot of the finished result, lights on for testing the effect, and last a minute check for correct alignment of the spot lamps, early this evening. Guests for the first evening programme will soon arrive.

    Now I'm sure you will take us back inside to see the decorations and this beautiful place at night, oui? We want to be rubbing elbows with those guests you know. We'll behave!

    Now that's a shot you must be mighty proud of, Chuckeroon. Ham House is majestic. I love the symmetry and how it totally belongs where it is. And love too, those beautiful old cobbles. Did you take this from a low angle?

    I'd love to see it at night too, with these beautiful lights. This would appear to be dusk - is that right?

    Tu feras partie des invités toi aussi bien sûr. A moins que tu sois dans les personnes qui invitent. Tu es chez toi dans cette belle demeure mise en valeur par la lumière et cette étrange couleur violette.
    Merci Chuckeroon de ton très gentil commentaire chez moi ; je suis rentrée il y a presque deux semaines à présent de Guyane petit (grand plutôt) coin de France en Amérique du Sud et petit à petit je refais le chemin à l'envers pour moi et les amis qui le veulent bien.

    I like this, and I agree with Jilly - I'd love to see a night shot

    Very grand. I'll have to get down there myself and take some nice shots.

    Looks really perfect, except maybe that the sign not to walk on the grass is not quite centered? :-)
