Such elegant scrollwork. Lovely to behold.
I wonder if the carpet was red, or royal blue?
Both would have looked amazing.

Can you imagine all of the children who saw that fanciful scrollwork, and what their little imaginations made of it? As a child, I would have loved to run my hands over such carvings, imagining myself somewhere magical... wow.

Wicked shot - I really like it! And the black-and-white treatment really makes the shot.

Yeah the detail work on the staircase is amazing really. Shame about all the broken windows. I myself wonder what that room was used for? Maybe it was some kinda office ? Interesting nonetheless.....

Beauty of the scrollwork and broken windows aside, I really like how you captured the daylight spilling down the staircase.

Outstanding composition!

les escaliers et les fenêtres cassées donnent l'aspect de lames de rasoirs.

I thought of razor blades, too, when I saw this photo (vmc's comment, as I understand it with my very limited French "The stairs and the cut-out openings give the appearance of razor blades.") I also think they look a little like imaginary creatures from Dr. Seuss, people being blown about in a wind storm while carrying other creatures on their heads.
