"Sure as I am breathing, sure as I’m sad
I’ll keep this wisdom in my flesh
I leave here believing more than I had
This love has got no ceiling"
Palace of Fine Arts, From the San Diego Exposition designed by Bernard Maybeck, San Francisco, California
This is the vestibule (entry way) of "Our Lady Guadalupe Shrine" in La Crosse, WI. I took some pro bono shots for a relative who works there in the marketing department. This meant we got to break a rule and go in with a tripod and do some things most people can't do with their point and shoots. For this I got to stretch out the legs on the induro and lay on my back with the 14-24 a few inches off the ground and line this up perfectly. Of course I had to remove wide angle distortion in post as well as lighten up around the edges because the only light was from the chandelier in the center of the ceiling.

These bees were plaster mouldings on the ceiling in one of the rooms in the Abbey. They were quite small and there were lots of them. Great place to visit.
State Line Tower in Hammond, Indiana was North America's largest mechanical interlocking. The plant was put in service in 1897 and retired in August 2000.
This interior view from the tower's last year of existence shows the tower's track diagram – a replacement diagram installed in the late Forties or early Fifties.
Trinity Apse was originally part of Trinity College Kirk, built around 1460, but then carefully dismantled in 1848 to make way for Waverley Station, each piece of masonry numbered with the intention of reconstructing the kirk on another site. In the 1870s the apse was reconstructed in Chalmers Close in the Old Town as part of a new church, but in the 1960s this was demolished leaving behind just the medieval building.

Malmesbury
Malmesbury Abbey was founded as a Benedictine monastery around 676 AD, by a scholar/poet called Aldhelm, a nephew of the King of Wessex. The town of Malmesbury grew round Abbey.
By the 11th century it was home to the second largest library in Europe and considered one of the leading European seats of learning.
The current Abbey was completed by 1180 AD. The 431 feet tall spire including the tower it was built on, collapsed in a storm around 1500 AD. The collapse destroyed quite a lot of the church, including two thirds of the nave and the transept. As a result of the collapse less than half of the original building stands today.
In 1949 the Abbey was designated as a Grade I listed building. Today the abbey is in use as the parish church of Malmesbury, in the Diocese of Bristol.
