Een oude foto die ik heb gevonden in mijn archief.
See where this picture was taken. [?]
il "Gymnasium", in origine era la sede della "Schola Regia Botanices", dell' "Herbarium", della Biblioteca e della dimora del Direttore.
The Gymnasium was the original site of the "Schola Regia Botanices," the Herbarium, the Library, the Directors quarters.
This is the ceiling of an old time saloon in Old Sacramento. It was very dark in there so I set the camera on its side on the table and pointed up. No flash used.
I got a building security person's version of a cease and desist while taking this one. Apparently, one shouldn't be able to study the ceiling. If I have the pattern right, there are three bulbs out. That would be a bitch to take care of.
Inside the Bayes yard in Dairy Flat. The people at Bayes are so friendly and awfully welcoming to bus spotters, it's nice to see them making a killing on the Hibiscus Coast as well! Hopefully they will be able to expand to passenger service in the future, that would be cool! Taken on 08/10/2018
Some of the ceiling tiles have been removed in order for the construction team to have access to pipes and ductwork.

My trip to Spain. Part 1 and 2 on my blog at: writenow.wordpress.com/2011/03/24/trip-to-spain-part-2-pe...
Day 53 of 2015. I hosted a fishbowl conversation on the "bamboo ceiling" (the disproportionately smaller percentage of Asian-American leaders in corporate America), featuring my friend, Michael Lin, who is passionate and thoughtful about these issues.
About a dozen friends and colleagues representing many different sectors sacrificed their Sunday afternoon to explore questions around leadership and equity. It was a great conversation, but it was even more fun watching my friends from all different walks of life engaging with each other and finding simple ways to support each other.
Sanded, bleached, and the church's original lights cleaned in the bathtub. They're 70s lamps and must have been installed during the building's 1970s upgrade

The depth of the plasterwork is quite amazing and the vivid red accentuates the scrolls in the plaster.
Visitors who knew the room in the past will find it transformed when they visit again. A replica of the original stained-glass ceiling and banks of ornately trimmed ceiling coffers, new and restored furnishings, a fresh coat of paint, and re-creations of the original bronze wall sconces give the room a warm and elegant tone.
One the absolute highlights of my visit, St Edmund's church in Southwold is one of -the most impressive parish churches in the country. Arriving late in the afternoon I was delighted to find the church still open and lose myself in its beautiful interior.
The building dates from the latter half of the 15th century and makes an assertive statement, all grandeur and civic pride on a grand scale. Great Perpendicular traceried windows punctuate the walls of the entire edifice and make it gloriously light inside (mostly plain glazed as no original glass survives and wartime bombing removed what the Victorians put in).
Within the eye is drawn to the hammerbeam roof, adorned with angels (though all are partially or wholly Victorian replacements for the originals that were mutilated by iconoclasts). The chancel beyond (structurally continuous) adds to the effect further with its ceiling painted in a heavenly shade of blue. A canopy of honour is created between the two halves with painted figures of angels, overpainted by restorers but stylistically clearly close to the original work underneath.
This ceilure of course added emphasis to the rood, long since vanished alas but the screen that supported it remains and is the most remarkable feature of the church, extending its entire width (though the screens in the aisles could be identified as separate additions). All the lower panels retain their sequence of late medieval painted figures including an unusual sequence of angels, but sadly all have been defaced by iconoclasts, most likely during the reign of Edward VI when the biggest militant purge of church artwork occurred. The quality and richness of detail however is still apparent.
The choir retains some fine medieval carved woodwork including choir stalls (the misericords are disappointingly plain designs, but the armrests feature more lively details). Ornate screens enclose this space on either side.
This vast church requires time to soak up its atmosphere and bask in its beauties, it is one of the loveliest buildings one could hope to visit and will reward any visitor to this pictureque seaside town, being generally kept open and welcoming within reasonable hours.
Found in one of the upstairs rooms of Old Government House.
This would have originally had a light fixture hanging from the centre of it. This sort of ornate plaster mould is typical of the period of architecture.
This little flock of angels hovers above my bed. I have dreamed that I am flying my whole life. It's such a comfortable and familiar feeling to me.

Here's the lullaby from Hansel and Gretel with its 14 angels which I sang to my children
www.youtube.com/watch?v=hlDK2qXIU50&feature=related
When at night I go to sleep,
Fourteen angels watch do keep:
Two my head are guarding,
Two my feet are guiding,
Two are on my right hand,
Two are on my left hand,
Two who warmly cover,
Two who o’er me hover,
Two to whom ‘tis given to guide my steps to heaven.
and in the original German sung by Kathleen Battle and Frederica von Stade - heavenly!
