St Michael and All Angels, Headingley, Leeds, West Yorkshire

 

Headingley and Leeds were adjacent villages in the medieval period, but by the end of the 18th Century Headingley had been completely subsumed into its avaricious neighbour. Of necessity, the parish church was rebuilt in the 1880s by John Loughborough Pearson.

 

Here we are just up the hill from the cricket ground on a hilltop site overlooking the city. The spire can be seen for miles. Typically for Leeds, this was intended as a luxuriant ritualist space, and a fashionable one at that, for Headingley had become the home for the villas of the Leeds middle classes. And yet, it doesn't quite come off, at least not as seen as today. The huge reredos by Temple Moore is fabulous, with Hardman & Co's painted altar still fronting it, and their lady chapel is delightful. But the same company's range of windows is, I suppose, not much more than dull and worthy, and in the early 21st Century middle-brow clothes it now wears, the whole place feels a bit dated, especially given its location in a prosperous suburb of a deliciously reinvented great city.

I had been planning to visit St Thomas More's Catholic church in Sheldon for some time;. It is built of concrete in a kind of semi-circular 'fan' layout crowned by two fins forming a central fleche. It is the work of Richard Gilbert Scott and opened in 1967.

 

I found the interior quite stunning, covered by a sweeping layered roof and enclosed by walls of coloured glass (by John Chrestien) in rich blues and oranges throwing strips of coloured light onto the floor. On the rear wall is an odd sequence of symbolic applique windows with coloured glass granules (some coming apart) and two separate chapels with further abstract glazing. I really liked this church, a little known modernist gem.

Ely Cathedral has a vast, spacious feel to it, in part because of the magnificence of its roof space. This shot shows the octagonal tower space as well as the main nave ceiling, both of which have beautiful paintings and decoration

The converging lines in this partition of corridors and stairwells of the Lovre Museum in Paris France struck me as a daunting thing to design and then let alone build! It doesn't show here, but the various arches and stairs are crazy!

This ceiling is found all throughout my childhood home. I scrapped my hand and head on it several times while jumping on my bed. The texture is rough not like the smooth ceiling that I now have. I'm sure it too has a name but I don't know what to call it.

In my opinion, one of the least discussed/visited place in Columbus, but the real beauty lives here...

Notre-Dame, is a medieval Catholic cathedral on the Île de la Cité in the fourth arrondissement of Paris, France. The cathedral is widely considered to be one of the finest examples of French Gothic architecture.

ODC -Low Angle Shot

 

I had a few ideas for the "low angle shot" theme so I started taking some photos of my legs and boots with the camera on the floor and some photos of my dogs from a very low angle, but I wasn't happy with the boot shots and I ended up lying on the floor frustrated with my dogs and staring at the ceiling. ...then I saw the lines that were created where the walls and ceiling meet between my kitchen and living room and the color difference due to the different lighting and ended up composing this abstract. I rarely "see" abstracts, so I decided to go with it as my photo for today.

Part of the nave of All Saints church at Wilbarston, Northamptonshire. The ceiling is 15th century, restored and repainted in 1884. "IHS" is a common symbol in western Christianity and is a truncation of "Jesus" in Greek (ΙΗΣΟΥΣ).

 

The church began in the 12th-century and was listed Grade II* in 1957.
