Parma Cathedral (Duomo) is a cathedral church in Parma, Emilia-Romagna (Italy). It is an important Italian Romanesque cathedral, and the artist Correggio fresco is one of the masterpieces of Renaissance fresco work.
The interior has a Latin cross plan, with a nave and two aisles divided by pilasters. The presbytery and the transept are elevated, to allow space for the underlying crypt. The latter houses fragments of ancient mosaics which show the presence here of a cult temple from at least in the 3rd or 4th century AD. The side chapels were built to house the sepulchers of the noble families of Parma: two of them, the Valeri Chapel and the Commune Chapel, have maintained the original decoration from the 14th century.
Since this is a photo of a ceiling you will get a better impression if you turn your head as far as possible and look up at the photo. Just try it...
A view of the entire (magnificent) ceiling in the Altemps Chapel.
I believe the central panel is of the Assumption of the Virgin Mary, while the surrounding panels depict events from her life. The panel at the bottom is The Annunciation.

It's great to be back at the Clocktree for 100 Word Stories and to experience the new science fiction ceiling.
Wikipedia: Union Terminal Cincinnati Ohio:
Union Terminal's distinctive architecture, interior design, and history have earned it several landmark designations, including as a National Historic Landmark. Its Art Deco design incorporates several contemporaneous works of art, including two of the Winold Reiss industrial murals, a set of sixteen mosaic murals depicting Cincinnati industry commissioned for the terminal in 1931. The main space in the facility, the Rotunda, has two enormous mosaic murals designed by Reiss. Taxi and bus driveways leading to and from the Rotunda are now used as museum space. The train concourse was another significant portion of the terminal, though no longer extant. It held all sixteen of Reiss's industrial murals, along with other significant art and design features.
Cincinnati's union terminal was developed throughout the 1920s as a solution for Cincinnati's five train stations serving seven railroads. Construction took place from 1928 to 1933, including creation of viaducts, mail and express buildings, and utility structures: a power plant, water treatment facility, and roundhouse. The station was underutilized at its opening, though it saw peak traffic during World War II. In the next four decades, passenger traffic decreased significantly, spurring the terminal to hold several attractions to provide income, offsetting declined transit use. Train service fully stopped in 1972, and Amtrak moved service to a smaller station nearby. The terminal was largely dormant from 1972 to 1980; during this time, its platforms and train concourse were demolished. In 1980, the Land of Oz shopping mall was constructed within the interior. Its last tenant left in 1985, and two Cincinnati museums decided to merge and utilize the terminal, creating the Cincinnati Museum Center. The museum center renovated the terminal in the late 1980s, opening in 1990. Amtrak returned to the terminal in 1991, resuming its role as an intercity train station. A two-year, $228 million renovation restored the building, completed in 2018.
The Drawing Room of Castell Coch (Welsh for 'Red Castle').
The castle is located near the village of Tongwynlais in South East Wales and overlooks the city of Cardiff.
The Castle was rebuilt for the Marquis of Bute in 1890 on the ruins of a medieval castle. Somewhat Disneyesque in appearance, it apparently closely resembles the original design.
