Jacobean plasterwork in the Long Gallery of Blickling Hall. Dates to 1620s. Long galleries were a common feature in houses of that period and were intended for exercise in bad weather.
Built by the Normans, it was consecrated in 1197 by the Archbishop Berardo. Henry VI, Holy Roman Emperor and Constance I of Sicily were present to witness the ceremony. The current building is the final result of some twentieth-century reconstructions, which took place following the disastrous earthquake that struck Messina in 1908 and the considerable damage that resulted from the heavy aerial bombardment in World War II.
The ceiling of the portico (porch? verandah?) at the main entrance to the National and Kapodistrian University of Athens, Greece.

I went to a meetup in San Francisco a few weeks back and found this beautiful stained glass ceiling. Do you know, or can you guess where this is? The title gives a hint.
I processed a balanced and a paintery HDR photo from a RAW long exposure, then merged the two images.

UPDATE 2015-12-26: I took this shot when I went to an open house event at the Internet Archive in San Francisco. They purchased an old church and converted it into a workplace and datacenter. Quite unique. This is the glass ceiling of the main hall upstairs. The same hall also serves as a datacenter.
Saturday Self Challenge: An unusual angle or point of view
The ceiling fan has been working overtime in the heat! I experimented by photographing it against our raked ceilings and using one of its lights as a star-burst.
