There was quite a lot of people trying to get shots of the interior of Carlisle Cathedral which was founded in 1122 as an Augustinian priory. I was acutely aware of those waiting and never got the time I would’ve liked to get something better. Felt a bit wrong to sprawl out on the floor while a queue was forming.
This beautiful domed ceiling is in the shop Fat Face Bournemouth. Once it graced a restaurant at the same address in the early 20th Century. It is a hidden gem and absolutely beautiful. #Bournemouth #hiddengem #TheNewCadenaCafe
A section of the ceiling in the very impressive Granada Cathedral. I would have preferred to go for a HDR but I was just not steady enough to manage that. I ran this through Define 3 to diminish the noise and then worked at bringing out the dark shadows. Not totally happy.

Die Decken der Räume sind noch heute mit original erhaltenen farbigen französischen Deckentapeten geschmückt:
Im 1. und 3. Raum wird im Deckenspiegel in einem runden Mittelfeld die „Toilette der Venus“ dargestellt. Dieses Motiv aus der römischen Mythologie mit vier Puttengruppen in den Ecken auf dunkelblauem Grund sind von einer klassizistischen Randleiste umgeben.

The ceilings of the rooms are still adorned with originally preserved colored French ceiling wallpapers:
In the 1st and 3rd rooms the "Toilet of Venus" is shown in the ceiling plan in a round center field. This motif from Roman mythology with four groups of putti in the corners on a dark blue background is surrounded by a classicist border.
Parroquia de Alcoy | Santa Maria | Church interior | The Parish Church of Santa María de Alcoy is situated in the historic centre of Alcoy, in the Plaza de España. Neoclassical in style and built in the 18th century, its origins date back to the 13th century. The main façade is imposing and stands out for its neoclassical style with columns and pilasters, with two symmetrical bell towers flanking the façade. A large central rose window allows natural light to enter. There is a central dome over the transept, as well as side chapels between the buttresses. Its sober decoration is typical neoclassical, while its high altarpiece is dedicated to the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary. The church suffered major damage during the Spanish Civil War and had to be partially rebuilt. It is one of the most significant religious buildings in Alcoy and is still the centre of many religious and cultural celebrations in the city, including the famous Moors and Christians festivities.

This is a photo of one of the ceilings in the Borghese Gallery in Rome. I have not been able to find out anything about it.
From comment by Eric below who just happens to be my brother-in-law. Thank you very much.
Room of the Bacchantes
Room 12
This small room takes its name from the fresco in the centre of the ceiling, which depicts three women dancing within frames of ivy decorated all around by floral motifs, garlands, festoons, and musical instruments that recall the grotesques and stuccos of ancient Roman villas. Felice Giani (1758-1823) executed it between 1782 and 1785 as a reworking of the decorations of the Domus Aurea and Hadrian’s Villa, which he visited regularly. galleriaborghese.beniculturali.it/en/il-museo/la-villa/sa...
