I am a Glass lover...most anything glass appeals to me, and a payoff happened this morning from the Sun in my studio window....here are 2 photos of my Swarovski Crystal Lotus's and my Waterford Egg...and one of the ceiling. The whole ceiling was lit with bright colored spots...and this photo does not nearly do it justice.
My bamboo ceiling project. I cut all the pieces to length, smoked them over an open flame (which took all weekend), and then split them in half lengthwise. I love it.
The boudoir at Knightshayes Court was the private sitting room of the lady of the house. The ceiling, designed by Victorian designer John Dibblee Crace, has as its centrepiece eight rondels depicting signs of the Zodiac.
Knightshayes is an elegant Victorian country house and estate, now owned by the National Trust, and located near Tiverton in Devon.
"At the center of the Melanesian gallery is a soaring, boldly colored ceiling from a ceremonial house of the Kwoma people of New Guinea. More than 80 feet long and 30 feet wide, the ceiling is composed of more than 270 individual paintings, commissioned from a group of Kwoma master artists in the early 1970s. The redesigned space allows the ceiling to be displayed at its full height, imparting a cathedral-like atmosphere to the gallery." More...
Taken during a visit to the The Metropolitan Museum of Art (aka "The Met") in New York City in May 2009. Despite spending 6+ hours exploring the museums Egyptian, Japanese, and Modern Art collection, we only managed to see a small portion of what the museum has to offer.

St Michael, Cornhill, London EC3, 1669-72.
Grade l listed.
The Victorian pavement to the choir of Minton’s tesserae and tiles.
Inside Salisbury Cathedral everything was so visually beautiful and awe inspiring!! Even, and maybe especially the arched ceilings. This is in the Quire area.
Weakened by his defeat by the French in 1214 and keen to avoid a civil war he feared losing, King John met the barons at Runnymede (between Windsor and Staines in Southern England) on 15 June 1215 and agreed the terms of the document now known as Magna Carta. Its content, driven by the concerns of barons and church, was designed to re-balance power between the King and his subjects. When King John set his seal on Magna Carta he conceded the fundamental principle that even as king he was not above the law.
Magna Carta (Latin for "Great Charter") 1215 is one of the most celebrated documents in English history. At the time it was the solution to a political crisis in Medieval England but its importance has endured as it has become recognised as a cornerstone of liberty influencing much of the civilized world.
A visit to view the best preserved original Magna Carta in the Chapter House is for many visitors the highlight of their time at Salisbury Cathedral.
Magna Carta contains 63 clauses written in Latin on parchment. Only three of the original clauses in Magna Carta are still law today. One defends the freedom and rights of the English Church, another confirms the liberties and customs of London and other towns, but the third is the most famous:
'No free man shall be seized or imprisoned, or stripped of his rights or possessions, or outlawed or exiled. Nor will we proceed with force against him except by the lawful judgement of his equals or by the law of the land. To no one will we sell, to no one deny or delay right or justice.'
So, this is what comes from holding the camera upside down against the ceiling of a commercial airliner. I really like the zooming feeling of this shot.
Since I got bitten by the photography bug, whenever I've been in an airplane, I have looked at the sweeping curves and the hidden lights of the ceilings above the hand luggage compartments and thought that there must be some great abstract shots hidden there.
This time I was seated far back, and I saw the opportunity.
Sorry, I don't know the type of aircraft - it had close to 30 rows, 3+3 seats - and it took my parents, my brother and me from Billund/DK to Milas/Turkey and back.
I previously posted a similar shot - here (right side up). For that one, I held the camera against a box protruding from the ceiling. For this shot, I held the camera to the ceiling itself, making the trim lines appear further apart.
This was taken on about day 9 of our ongoing leak problem (we're on day 12 right now). So, almost two weeks ago Akiko noticed that water was leaking into our bathroom and shower from above, and we eventually learned that water was leaking into the unit above us as well. After a few days the leak moved to mostly in our hallway, and then further in to our apartment to the ceiling in the kitchen and some water also leaking onto a wall in our bedroom. Basically, the building management company didn't do much of anything except come by to look at the problem and offer us some buckets and dog pee pads. Eventually after 9 days they got a plumber to come check on the problem on the 4th floor, but they weren't sure where the water was coming from; despite us emptying about 8-10 gallons of water a day from our buckets. Eventually they turned off the water to the hot water heater on the 4th floor just in case that was the cause of the problem, and after a few hours the leaks slowed considerably. After that though, they turned the water back on because the people up there need hot water, and we were told they should be coming to actually fix the problem in about a week.
So far our ceiling and walls have been stained, a few light fixtures ruined, the hallway stinks, and the ceiling in one place is basically jell-o being held in place by the wallpaper, but the building company just doesn't seem like they care about the damage to the building or what is going on. So, I guess we have to get used to living with buckets.
Huntingfield Church of St Mary the Virgin, Suffolk, England. A beautiful wee country church with the most glorious painted ceiling I've ever seen. A stitched panorama of 3 or 4 images.
The artwork was by Mildred Holland the wife of the church's rector sometime in the 19th century. You can find out more at

This rooms doesn't appear to have ever had a ceiling/roof -- it is under an overhang. In the niche on the side are some very old corn husks knotted into bundles - they can almost be seen in larger sizes.
(Project 365 Day 184)
I was just thinking today that roofs are an amazing invention. Well, just shelter in general, really. Like, it was all raining outside, but in my apt, I have to open the blinds to even know what the weather is like. It makes life so much more comfortable!
This is a photo of a corner of my ceiling and walls, turned upside-down to hopefully look kinda like a roof. I like how turning something upside-down makes it harder to recognize.
