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.

Public buildings, including restaurants and pubs, often have panels or decorations on the ceiling to muffle noise and to create an ambiance. They often go unnoticed on a conscious level but still have an effect on an unconscious level. if you make a point of looking up, you may be surprised by what you will see. These elements on the ceiling of a mall almost escaped my attention. They remind me of "f-holes" on violins.

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.

L'abbatiale Saint-Austremoine est une abbatiale française de style roman auvergnat située à Issoire, dans le département du Puy-de-Dôme.
L'abbatiale Saint-Austremoine est une ancienne abbatiale bénédictine construite durant le premier tiers du XIIe siècle et plus précisément vers 1130, ce qui en fait la deuxième des cinq églises majeures d'Auvergne.
Elle est dédiée à Austremoine de Clermont ou Stremonius, premier évêque de Clermont et évangélisateur de l'Auvergne à la fin du IIIe siècle.
C'est l'une des plus grandes églises de Basse Auvergne, 65m de long sur 17m de haut. Cette abbatiale construite en arkose (grès blond), correspond au plan-type des églises de pèlerinage, avec un chevet à déambulatoire et chapelles rayonnantes sur crypte abritant la chasse du XIIe siècle de St Austremoine.
Elle est remarquable par l'étagement de ses volumes et la richesse du décor du chevet : colonnettes, chapiteaux, modillons, mosaïques à motifs géométriques, médaillons sculptés des signes du zodiaque, etc.
Elle possède une surprenante polychromie intérieure et de magnifiques chapiteaux historiés (cycle de la Passion et de la Résurrection du Christ) dans le chœur.
Comes the morning
When I can feel
That there's nothing left to be concealed
Moving on a scene surreal
No, my heart will never
Will never be far from here
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
And there's a reason I'll be
A reason I'll be back
As I walk
The Hemisphere
*I've got* my wish
To up and disappear
*I've been* wounded
*I've been* healed
Now for landing *I've been*
Landing *I've been* cleared
Sure as I'm 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
