Well ladies here it is. The famous glass ceiling. I'll bet you didn't know it was in the Belle Isle Casino in Detroit.
3 exposure HDR (Photomatix) layered with another high contrast version to better show the clear glass portion.
Detail of the roof of the Sagrada Familia in Barcelona. Gaudà designed the columns to mirror trees and branches.
Luckily we had the chance to choose one of three guided tours at the Monastery Klosterneuburg through the wine cellar, the treasury or the church including the cloister. Since I wanted to get into the church anyway I chose the last one and so I had the chance to take a nice wide angle shot of the church’s ceiling. „Unfortunately“ this was a guided tour which means that I didn’t had that much time to take pictures, but especially in such architecture shots you have to position yourself exactly at the right place to get the symmetry in the final picture which takes a little bit of time. Hence, I didn’t really listen to the guide and just took a few pictures hoping that I get a good one.
Barcelona. Request for one of these made me go back and look at all the photos I took that day. What a beautiful place.
This is an HDR re-edit of the Sagrada Familia Cathedral ceiling in Barcelona, Spain. The original cut of this was over-processed.
This coffered ceiling adorns the lobby of the first floor of the Dedman Life Sciences Building. Located in the Science Quad, the building is one of the newest in Dedman College, being built in 2010, and features a variety of facilities such as laboratories, classrooms, and offices.
Another from our Italy trip a couple of months back- Looking up at the beautiful, decaying ceiling of this abandoned villa which was last used as a health retreat for those with mental health conditions.

Built between 1723-6 for Emperor Charles VI this Baroque library contains 200,000 books and many other treasures including globes, statues and frescos. Not sure its the right place to read as there are just too many competing visual pleasures.
When part of a monastery, the chapter house is generally located on the eastern wing of the cloister, which is next to the church. Since many cathedrals in England were originally monastic foundations, this is a common arrangement there also. Elsewhere it may be a separate building. The chapter house comprises a large space, in order to hold all the monks of the monastery, and is often highly ornamented. Typically there is seating around, often built into, all the walls of the room, often in stone, with the central space left open. The seats for the senior members are often larger than the others, and may be raised on a dais. Usually there is only one doorway, and though the room is well-lit where the location allows, the windows are often too high to allow a view in from outside (or eavesdropping). Many larger chapter houses are designed with vestibules for attendants and those waiting to be called, where opening onto a cloister does not provide such a space. There is often a fireplace, and altars are found in some examples, sometimes added later.
The history of Chichester Cathedral begins in 681 when Saint Wilfrid brought Christianity to Sussex and established a Cathedral in Selsey, a small community south of Chichester.
After 1066 the Norman policy was that cathedrals should be moved from small communities to larger centres of population. In 1075 the Council of London established the See of Chichester and in 1076 the building of the present cathedral in Chichester was begun under Bishop Stigand. It was completed under Bishop Luffa in time for its dedication to the Holy Trinity in 1108.
St. Paul's Chruch in Jarvis Ontario. We ended up here on Shrove Tuesday as a happy accident. After spending the afternoon at the nearby Canadian Raptor Concervancy (photos & Video to to come) we where passing through Jarvis at the right time and stopped in for their pancake suppervand took a few shots while waiting.
ALSO: It's probably the best pancake super I've ever been too.

Looking up in St Edmundsbury Cathedral, Suffolk. I was deliberately next to the organ case; I have done the tower shot before.
So far, 2023 is not my year. Woke up to part of the garage ceiling caved in. Apparently, it wasn't water damage or anything, just an old ceiling that finally gave out.
