Hearst Castle, take 2

Well, I decided that the majority of the digital photos I took at Hearst Castle weren't as nice as the film ones, or there were folks from our tour getting in the shot, or maybe it was from a weird angle -so, I've uploaded a few to my flickr account, and decided the photos from the kitchen were the only ones blog worthy.









I think the kitchen is probably the most under-rated room in the castle... Even though it's gigantic (way bigger then my entire apartment), it's just beautiful in a simple, more humble way then the rest of the over the top lavish house. Lots of nice washed out whites and other pale muted colors... Also, a silly, only somewhat related fact - Hearst used to keep the hard liquor locked up in a big black safe - but you could get beer on tap any time of the day?!
