This was one of my favorite videos of the year, because it helped me find so many other nature nerds πŸ’š It was also really cool to see all the different versions you made! Cheers to another year of laying in the moss, taking photos of wildflowers and mushrooms, finding neat critters, and being in awe of our world (I’ll be adding one more nature nerd to the crew too πŸ₯²πŸ˜Ž)#naturenerd #natureisamazing #slowhiking #relatableView all 1,665 comments

A natural world hiker, not a conquering hiker.

Ornate domed ceiling viewed from below, featuring a circular coffered design with concentric rings of blue and white decorative panels radiating from a dark central medallion. The dome is framed by elaborate gold ornamental brackets at the cardinal points, with circular medallions and rectangular panels in the corners, all set against pale pink walls in classical architectural style.

1/5 Emo Court

This week snaps of Emo Court in #Ireland from a short trip in September. It's a country house well cared for by the Irish state. At the centre is a room that runs to the top of the house where it is capped by a #dome.

This elegant image captures a view from inside a grand historic building looking out through tall wooden double doors. The doors frame a classical glass-paneled entryway that opens onto a stone terrace, beyond which stretches a manicured formal garden with symmetrical lawns, sculpted topiaries, and mature trees beneath a partly cloudy sky. The interior features ornate architectural details including decorative moldings, curved walls with classical pilasters, and a polished wooden floor that follows the gentle curve of the rounded entrance hall. The composition draws the eye from the weathered grandeur of the interior through multiple frames to the pastoral landscape beyond, creating a sense of depth and the timeless elegance of a stately manor or palace.

5/5 Emo Court

I've concentrated on 'below stairs' but Emo Court has elegant rooms, a formal garden and extensive grounds. Here's looking out of a ground floor #window onto the terrace and #gardens.
