In Cleveland, Ohio sits an abandoned Subway tunnel that is only open to the public once a year. These photos were taken on the August 19th, 2017 tours of the tunnel and underdeck of the Detroit-Superior Bridge. The short stretch of subway (carrying streetcars) opened on Christmas Day in 1917 and was supposed to serve as a model for a Cleveland-wide Subway system. As streetcars were phased out, the line fell into disuse and service was discontinued on January 24, 1954. So, the last trains that went through these tunnels were over 63 years ago...
The subway line did lead to some rapid-transit train lines being built (RTA), which has one full metro line and a couple light-rail lines. Part of the current metro line is underground near Tower City and again near the Airport. The RTA has survived, though streetcar and commuter trains are long gone in the Cleveland Area.

Siena, Italy: Ceiling of the Piccolomini library, which adjoins the Cathedral of Siena. The library houses precious illuminated choir books and frescoes painted by the Umbrian Bernardino di Betto, called Pinturicchio, probably based on designs by Raphael.
The Cathedral of Siena, Duomo di Siena, is a medieval church in Siena, Italy. The cathedral was originally designed and completed between 1215 and 1263 on the site of an earlier structure. It has the form of a Latin cross with a slightly projecting transept, a dome and a bell tower.
Try it large to see all the detail!
Since this is a photo of a ceiling you will get a better impression if you turn your head as far as possible and look up at the photo. Just try it...
A view of the platform level western concourse and escalator shaft at Farringdon Crossrail. The totems incorporate uplights that will illuminate these areas when fully commissioned. There is no ceiling lighting in these areas.
