A historic bank in Detroit. The ceiling is not painted or tiled, it's actually covered with canvas.
The Alhambra is a complex of several palaces, snuggled next to a fortress, set in an extensive garden, perched on a big hill.
The most interesting building is the 14th century Islamic palace built by the Nasrid dynasty with enchanting courtyards, babbling fountains and breathtakingly beautiful panelled rooms with gloriously intricate designs and unusual mocárabe ('stalactite') ceilings. In comparison, the Renaissance palace King Charles V had built next door is an unfinished brutalist monolith designed with all the sensitivity of a brick.

Bachkovo Monastery
The “Assumption” monastery is the second largest monastery in Bulgaria. It is situated in the western part of Rodope Mountain, 10 km away from Asenovgrad. It was founded by Grigoriy Bukuriani – Georgian military commander who was at the service of the Byzantine Emperor. After the Ottomans conquered Bulgaria at the end of 14 century, the heroic patriarch St. Evtimiy Tarnovski was sent into exile in the monastery where he stayed until the end of his life. At first the monastery survived ottoman attacks but later it was burned down and plundered. During the 15th century it was renovated. The main monastery church was built in 1604. The wall paintings in the refectory date back from 1643. There are stages of “the Doomsday”, figures of holy monks, stages from the Orthodox Church history, and many other mural paintings. The icon of Virgin Mary is said to be miraculous. 103 manuscripts and 252 old printed books were found in the monastery in the beginning of 20 century and were called “a real literature depository”.

I liked the shapes this light made on the ceiling. Its the corner of the room with a suspended ceiling making the light and shadows more unusual. It may have looked better without the actual light but I wanted to take it slightly out of abstract and into context.

"The Portico Library (or Portico Library and Gallery) on Mosley Street, Manchester, is a subscription library designed in the Greek Revival style between 1802 and 1806 by Thomas Harrison of Chester. It was designated a Grade II* listed building on 25 February 1952 and been described as "the most refined little building in Manchester".
The library was established as a result of a meeting of Manchester businessmen in 1802 which resolved to found an "institute uniting the advantages of a newsroom and a library". A visit by four of those men to the Athenaeum in Liverpool inspired them to achieve a similar institution in Manchester. Money was raised through members' subscriptions and the library opened in 1806.
The library, mainly focused on 19th century literature, was designed by Thomas Harrison, architect of Liverpool's Lyceum and built by one of the founders, David Bellhouse. One of the secretaries was Peter Mark Roget who began his famous Thesaurus here.
Today, the building accommodates an exhibition space and the ground floor is tenanted by The Bank public house which takes its name from the Bank of Athens which leased the property in 1921, while the library remains upstairs with its entrance on Charlotte Street." Wikipedia

Eine Bücherei im zweiten Stock über einem Club hätte ich nicht einfach so gefunden. Und niemals hätte ich erwartet, dass sie so hübsch ist.
Eigentlich war sie zu dem Zeitpunkt meines Besuchs gerade geschlossen, aber ich durfte trotzdem rein und sogar Fotos machen. Sehr nette Damen dort! (Sie haben auch eine eigene Homepage, aber die ist auf Englisch.)
