Primrose, As I would expect from you, beautiful pictures.  Are these Lividia?  What time of year is it?  Just gorgeous.  Vickie

Hi Vickie,
 These images are of Dulber Palace... I wrote a few lines about it but the description is at the bottom of page 5. They were taken in September 2009, same time as the others I've posted.

Are they private residences? Or owned by the government?

All of these palaces are now owned by the Ukrainian government. After the Revolution the Soviets took them over either for sanatoriums or summer homes for Soviet elite. As far as I know they've never been in private hands but interestingly in the area around Koreiz, the Yusupov palace, lots of 'MacMansions' are being built by Russian oligarchs.

Thanks for your kind words, SOH!

Livadia Palace -- designed by Nicholas Krasnov

I'm posting the final set of my images of the Crimean Palaces; for the most part these are not the usual views of Livadia but rather things that caught my eye and interest. Please feel free to ask questions and make comments, I would welcome the feedback.

1 & 2 - This is the original Romanov entrance to Livadia, now closed to the public

13 - It had been raining lightly when we arrived at Livadia, and while we toured the house there was a downpour. But as we walked out the door, this was the amazing view that met our eyes!
