One of the innumerable ornate ceilings at the Vatican Museums; I just liked the way this one was lilt
Your'e not allowed to use tripods in this cathedral, so a much reduced need for writhing around on the floor, and a much increased need for leaving my camera on the floor, running away, and looking menacingly at anyone who seemed like they might be walking in its direction.
Part of an ongoing series
The ceiling of clouds that rolled over the valley earlier in the day was still covering most of the sky at sunset.

The harmonious interior equals the exterior in its incomparable beauty. Stunning tracery windows create an ethereal lighting effect in the sanctuary. The cathedral has more than 1,800 square metres of stained-glass windows dating from the 13th to the 20th centuries. The oldest windows are the rose windows and those in the middle choir chapels. Also notice the magnificent 15th- to 16th-century choir stalls, which were carved by Flemish craftsmen. On the north side of the cathedral is a beautiful cloister in the Plateresque style, built in the 14th century and altered in the 16th. The frescoes in the cloister were created by Nicolás Francés. The cathedral museum collection is arranged in the rooms around the cloister. One of the most extensive collections of its kind, the museum displays many exceptional treasures of religious art. Highlights include a 10th-century edition of the Bible, the Castilian and Flemish triptychs, and the assortment of Romanesque art, with around 60 sculptures from the 12th and 13th centuries.http://www.planetware.com/tourist-attractions-/leon-e-castl-leon.htm
The Cathedral’s interior is a summary of the Medieval theologians’ concept of the world, presided over by the Creator’s Blessing. The windows illustrate three conceptual levels: typical vegetable motifs such as oak and vine leaves; heraldic subjects (windows of the triforium) and Saints, Kings and Prophets. www.leon.es/Visit/Monuments_of_the_City/The_Essentials/Ca...

For TPF weekly challenge "The Unexpected Composition."
Here are the parameters constraints for the challenge:
1 - Pick a focal length - can be anything you like but you cannot change mid challenge. If you pick 45mm on your 18-55 then you must stay at 45mm.
2 - Pick a subject - anything you want
3 - Pick a spot to stand - you cannot move away from that place. You can squat or lean or bend but you cannot move to a different spot
4 - Now shoot 25 different compositions of your subject from that spot. Yes that's right, 25. Sorry film people...
I awakened the morning of the 4th looking up at our ceiling fan.
Grabbed the X100F with the teleconverter adapter that essentially makes it a nifty fifty.
Here are 25 of the 47 exposures I shot...
day 2
ushuaia is the southernmost town in the world.
in the XIX century, argentine president julio roca promoted the establishment of a penal colony for re-offenders - modeled after one in tasmania, australia - in an effort to secure permanent residents from argentina and to help establish argentine sovereignty over all of tierra del fuego.
the prison is now a museum
The awe-inspiring vaulted ceiling suspended above the ancient brick walls of the Jerusalem Church's octagonal tower. This was a difficult shot to get because we weren't able to access the room directly below the ceiling. I had to push my camera through an iron grill in a door in the main church. Both Magda and I used this technique, through different doors, without knowing we had done the same thing. We laughed about it afterwards.
The ceiling at Leake Street doesn't get as much attention as the walls, for obvious reasons, but when it does the work is usually stunning. Forground is by Psychodoodlz, with the entrance to The Vaults at the bottom right. The portrait bottom left is the work of Olivier Roubieu.
Detail of the wooden beams in the roof of Salt Creek Covered Bridge a two lane bridge at Brown County State Park IN. Built in 1838. The advert on the beam is actually on the wrong side of the bridge to be seen by traffic entering the bridge, it would be above and behind traffic leaving the bridge.
My nephew would call this "The bestest book store ever."
Well, it is an ordinary book store but in a lovely 19th century grade II listed building.
And they had pretty stairs :o)
(And a not so pretty carpet...)

Ein großartiger Buchladen. Also, naja, ein Buchladen eben, aber in einem großartigen, denkmalgeschützten Gebäude aus dem 19. Jahrhundert.
Mit Treppen :o)
(Und einem relativ schrecklichen Teppich, aber man kann nicht alles haben...)
