This photo is not as crisp as possible, but I wanted to capture the amazing ceiling detail. The light in the Library of Congress was challenging and I was using a point-n-shoot Canon. But I wanted to upload this as it reminded me of some of the ceilings in the Paris Opera House.
St. Michael's Church (German: Michaelerkirche) is one of the oldest churches in Vienna, Austria, and also one of its few remaining Romanesque buildings. Dedicated to the Archangel Michael, St. Michael's Church is located at Michaelerplatz across from St. Michael's Gate at the Hofburg Palace. St. Michael's used to be the parish church of the Imperial Court, when it was called Zum heiligen Michael.
Over its long history, spanning more than eight centuries, the church has incorporated a medley of architectonic styles. The church is a late Romanesque, early Gothic building dating from about 1220–1240. There is a document giving 1221 as the foundation date of the church, but this is most probably a 14th-century forgery. Over time, there have been many alterations, resulting in its present day aspect, unchanged since 1792.
View of non-asbestos 1-foot square ceiling tile in room of building with asbestos paper sub-layer between tile and attic space above. The ceiling tiles were each individually nailed in place (not adhered) on a suspended grid of wooden furring strips. Nails were each hidden inside perforation holes. Surface of center tile has been peeled away showing brown, cellulosic, non-asbestos fiber matrix; asbestos paper shows slight yellow aging.
Basilique Saint-Pierre. Intérieur de la coupole au décor en mosaïque des 16 nervures d'après les dessins du Cavalier d'Arpin. Oeuvre grandiose et pure sortie du génie de Michel-Ange, la coupole fut terminée par Giacomo della Porta et Domenico Fontana.
This was the ceiling in a room at the Canada Aviation and Space Museum in Ottawa. Loved it because it looks like an aperture.
