The wood work and the decorations are amazing!

While we were waiting for our "Russian tour," we decided to go to the apple orchard and pick some apples from the apple trees. However, the apples had already been found, picked and eaten by all of the other park visitors!
This is our Russian tour guide dressed in a traditional dress of the Tsarina. The Russian women were to keep their hair covered. The detail on her head covering is amazing!
Standing on the front steps, on our way into the building, we looked up and saw this painting on the ceiling...a lion and a unicorn. Maybe the guide talked about this but we didn't have anyone there to translate it for us.
This is the front door into the buildilng.
This is the double headed Eagle. It is on the ceiling in the first room.
hallway
This is the dining hall. The Tsar's table is to the left. He has his own table. No one shares it with him. It is about the size of a card table. (I had a picture of the Tsar's table too but it accidently got deleted from the blog when I was deleting extra spaces...oops!)
Another celiing picture. This has the sun and moon and stars.
Looking at the Throne.

wow. that's cool. do you think you can rebuild it toy size with the lincoln logs?
Love love love the wood! I'm going crazy over the detail!!!! I so should have been born rich...but would I appreciate it as much as I do now? most likely not. I have to hand it to Russia I never ever thought it could hold such beauty. Lesson learned there is beauty everywhere just "look". Pretty deep huh :) Do you remember the nursery rhyme "the lion and the unicorn"? I wonder if that is what your picture was of. Funny I always thought it was about england. Cool. A Russian rhyme in nursery books. who would have thought?
the Tsar's home reminds me of the Detail in the Castle we went through on spring break. I'm glad you took all those pictures of the details...WOW, do you think the rich even notice it? Jen, I'm pulling a blank on the nursery rhyme. Oh, Mom, is this house still the Tsar's home or a museum now?
Wow, too bad it wasn't open when I was there. Great pictures
