Amazing huh? This whole shed was covered with this stuff. I said to my friend, "Ya know I bet there is a stack of this stuff in a shed somewhere." We nosed around and did find a little stack but it wasn't the neat stuff like this. There was one wall inside the barn that was covered so it was indoors and not rusty. Would love to get my hands on some of them. There was also a chicken house that had this on the north side. I will post a pic of that too some time soon. I hope I am not boring everyone with this stuff. I love it so I post it!

This is the ceiling in the Thistle Chapel at St. Giles Cathedral in Edinburgh, Scotland. It's a small side chapel off the main part of the cathedral. There is so much detail and history in this beautiful small chapel I easily spent a half hour within it.
The Order of the Thistle is Scotland’s great order of chivalry, and membership is considered to be one of the country’s highest honors. The Order is traditionally given to
Scots or people of Scots ancestry, who have given distinguished service. Appointments are entirely in the Thistle a personal gift of the Sovereign.
The Order of the Thistle has roots in the Middle Ages, but the present day order was largely created in 1687 by King James VII of Scotland (King James II of England). The nave of Holyrood Abbey was adapted as its chapel, but in 1688 the Abbey was ransacked by the Edinburgh mob, furious at King James’ Roman Catholic allegiance. After that, the Knights of the Thistle had no chapel of their own for over 200 years.
The Thistle Chapel was designed by Robert Lorimer and finished in 1911. It contains stalls for the 16 knights, the Sovereign’s stall and two Royal stalls. The chapel contains a wealth of detail, both religious and heraldic, and much of it peculiarly Scottish, including angels playing bagpipes.
Entered through a low-vaulted vestibule or ante-chapel at the east end of the Preston aisle, the chapel is a rectangle of three bays, with a polygonal eastern apse and a stone vault encrusted with a rich pattern of ribs and carved bosses. The effect is greatly enhanced by heraldic and figurative stained glass in the windows.Thistle Looking up
Along the sides of the chapel are the knights’ stalls, which are capped by lavishly carved canopies with the helms and crests of the knights rising above. The richest effect of all, however, is reserved for the Sovereign’s stall at the west end of the chapel.
It was a bit of challenge for me to capture this photo as I was using a small point-n-shoot hand held as I didn't bring my tripod for the bigger DSLR.
I manually stitched two photos together as my panorama software couldn't render all the detail. Regardless of the challenges, it was great capture this amazing ceiling.

All of the images in this series have been taken in SOCO (South Congress area of Austin) on a single Flickrwalk from over 3 weeks ago.
The Ethnology Museum (Néprajzi Múzeum) in Budapest, the magnificent stair to the upper balcony and the really incredible mosaic of the roof's windows

beneath the architectural ballet of hangover's airport, a constellation of ceiling lights casts a geometric dance of shadows and illumination. here, the interplay of light and dark sketches a silent symphony upon the surface, each bulb a soloist in an orchestrated performance of brilliance and contrast. the design, both purposeful and aesthetic, captures the eye, inviting travelers to pause and look upward, to find artistry in the mundane, a moment of beauty amidst the bustle of transit.
The Hurezi Monastery was founded in 1690. It is a masterpiece in "Brâncovenesc style". Hurezu, Romania
So many works of art decorating every facet of the palace. I'm no knowledge source for artwork, so I don't know anything about them, but it's fascinating to behold nonetheless.

Found this large sculpture hanging from the ceiling of the new Community East main lobby. iP12Pro with native camera. Touched with Snapseed and Carbon.
Completed in 1133, Durham was the first building in England to be entirely covered by ribbed vaults. This technique allowed for greater height, stability, and visual drama. The nave stretches 66 feet wide and the vaulted ceiling soars to 73 feet high, making it one of the largest Norman cathedral interiors in Europe
