A peek inside Biltmore Estate


Looking above the winter garden room on the estate's first floor

The banquet hall

One of the gorgeous sitting rooms, warmed by one of the estate's 65 fireplaces



The library

This circular staircase winds from the first floor to the fourth. Each window reveals a beautiful view.

The chandelier lights the staircase from the fourth to the first floor. It weighs 1500 pounds and is secured by a single bolt.

Intricate stonework adorns the archways, and gargoyles watch over many of the rooms.
It's Tuesday somewhere, and that means it's time to join in with this week's Wordless Wednesday (on Tuesday) photo linkup party! And to be sure you won't miss upcoming parties, follow image-in-ing through Google +, Google Friend Connect, or by email - the links can be found on the sidebar.

If you host a weekly photo party and would like to have your linkup listed on the blogroll, drop me a line! And be sure to check out the blogroll - there are lots of really great photographers who'd love to have  you stop by their parties, too.

Have a great week!
