Things are looking up at We're Here!. Today, we take that literally and join from BELOW - straight up.
Visitors who knew the room in the past will find it transformed when they visit again. A replica of the original stained-glass ceiling and banks of ornately trimmed ceiling coffers, new and restored furnishings, a fresh coat of paint, and re-creations of the original bronze wall sconces give the room a warm and elegant tone.

the skylights at the local mall- i could do a whole album/set of just them. love the geometry of the light and shadows. this is pretty much SOOC except there were these 2 dark smudgy lines on the ceiling that i "erased" using iphoto. now how does a ceiling get noticeably dirty???

la Libreria Piccolomini est la bibliothèque du cardinal Francesco Piccolomini (futur Pie III) située dans le duomo de Sienne et dédiée aux épisodes de la vie de son oncle, le pape Pie II.
La bibliothèque comporte des collections en vitrine d'antiphonaires et de psautiers placés sur des pupitres sculptés d'Antonio Barili, « le Boulle de la Renaissance ».
L'autel Piccolomini (de A. Bregno) comporte quatre niches avec des statues de saints exécutées par Michel-Ange jeune (1501-1504).
Au centre, le groupe des Trois Grâces est une copie romaine d'une statue hellénistique offerte au cardinal.
La salle est surtout remarquable par un cycle de fresques de Pinturicchio sur la Vie de Pie II Piccolomini

Bahia Palace
From the World Travel Guide.
The 19th-century Bahia Palace still functions as a royal residence where the king entertains, but dozens of rooms are open to the public to see how the royals lived, including the former residence of the Grand Vizier's four wives and his royal harem of 24 concubines. These rooms are decked out floor to ceiling with an eye-popping combination of stuccowork, mosaics and intricately carved and painted woodwork.

"I just like the name 'Persian.' It sort of conjured up the Near East, Byzantium, The Far East, Venice- all the trades, smells, senses i don't know, it was an exotic name to me, so i just called them Persians."
- Dale Chihuly
Chihuly's Persians are among his most effective forms for installation art - mounted vertically in wall displays, incorporated in chandeliers, massed in ceilings. The rondel, a flower-like form distinguished by large size and wavy, irregular edges, is the most typical Persian. As a rule, Chihuly likes to manipulate glass as simply as possible, using few tools and molds, and allowing gravity, movement, and centrifugal force to act upon the molten material. To watch his team spin the molten disc of a Persian, then let it droop naturally into shape is to see a breathtaking display of skill and control, using minimal means.
Persian Ceiling provides a rare opportunity to completely immerse yourself in an artist's work - look up and luxuriate.
