Photo of the Day

© lawhawk 2007 


This is the Hall of Mirrors at Versailles. This photo doesn't quite capture the gaudiness and extravagance of the room, in part because the Hall is currently being renovated. The company behind the restoration is keeping the room open at all times and uses a mirrored partition to give the effect that the room is at its full length. The restoration includes reguilding the gold leaf throughout, work on the windows and the glazed mirrors.
