Best viewed large, not for my photography but for the artistry (Antonio Bellucci).
The parish church of Great Witley is a revelation (no pun intended). This is the most ornate and highly decorated Anglican church I have ever visited. The guide book says, "Witley church is one of the finest 18th Century ecclesiastical interiors in the country and would be worthy of a long detour even if Witley Court did not exist."
I can't disagree. The whole of the ceiling is decorated in biblical scenes, the one shown here (the Ascension) is the largest. In addition, all of the windows are illuminated by a combination of paint and stained glass.

No hidden alligators, just a very Renaissance looking ceiling in Kansas City. Easter greetings from Lynn & Michael everyone!!
A beautiful example of Flamboyant Gothic architecture built by Saint Louis in the heart of the "Palais de la Cité" on the Ile de la Cité in Paris (see map) .
Its unique stained glass windows renders the air iridescent with light and colors.
A gem unknown to most of the EasyJetters who would rather walk on by this unique masterpiece on their way to the more famous Notre Dame de Paris

Enhancing scale and texture
This is one of those shots where I literally gave my Nikon 14-24 Lens a little kiss. In fact, It’s such a profoundly awesome hunk of glass that if it had lips, I’m confident that I’d be divorced by now...
Most of my shots (I would say at least 85% of them) are shot using the 14-24. I really get a kick out of how much I can fit in frame from such a short distance away. With superior optical quality, It’s a fantastic lens for HDR Photography and well worth the $$ price tag.
HDR Photography opens up a lot of doors when It comes to texture. When you stack up all the Exposure Brackets (AEB), it fills in the highlight and shadow regions of the image with more color and luminance information. With a single exposure alone, these regions would otherwise be void of detail, either washed out or just black. With neutral or mid tones, stacking exposures enhances what’s already there and increases detail and texture overall.
If you combine wide angle lenses and HDR Processing together, you can yield some truly interesting results. It takes a bit of experimentation and a lot of trial and error (mostly error), but hey, isn’t that part of the fun?

Shopping Center (Demirören İstiklal, Beyoğlu) in Istanbul. A really nice building. www.demirorenistiklal.com/
(thanks to the guy who asked it on yahoo answers.)

This is no computer generated caleidoscope image. Unfortunately, there is a perfume and cosmetics counter right in the center under the dome, making it impossible to get a well centered shot of this architectural masterpiece. I did sneak into the booth though, just to find that the interior walls of this atrocity of consumerism consist of mirrors. Couldn't stay in there long enough to get the shot perfectly centered, but it still provides for an interesting perspective.
Redecorated the hallway this week, and put some stringball shades on the bulbs.
Jpeg straight out of the camera, no post processing.
More of this sort of thing, but with added awful jpeg compression: www.facebook.com/pages/Lightpaintingorguk/517424921642831

Really cool decoration on one of the ceilings inside Melbourne Central.
On our after-lunch walk we were eventually followed by a small group of children When we came to a mosque and removed our shoes they mostly lost interest. Once inside the mosque we were struck by the massive amount of decoration on every surface other than window glass.
This is a shot of one of the ceiling decorations. The text is, of course, religiously oriented and in a Persian script, or variety of it.
