From Wikipedia:
The Old Royal Naval College is the architectural centrepiece of Maritime Greenwich, a World Heritage Site in Greenwich, London, described by the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organisation (UNESCO) as being of “outstanding universal value” and reckoned to be the “finest and most dramatically sited architectural and landscape ensemble in the British Isles”.
The buildings were originally constructed to serve as the Greenwich Hospital, designed by Christopher Wren, and built between 1696 and 1712. The hospital closed in 1869. Between 1873 and 1998 it was the Royal Naval College, Greenwich.
The principal buildings are King Charles Court (the oldest part dating back to the restoration), completed in 1705; Queen Mary Court (planned by Wren and Hawksmoor, but not built until after Wren's death, by Thomas Ripley), completed in 1742; Queen Anne Court (architects: Wren and Hawksmoor), and King William Court (designed by Wren, but completed by Hawksmoor and Sir John Vanbrugh). They were designed to hold 1,500 seamen.
Queen Mary Court houses the Chapel (designed by Christopher Wren but not completed until 1742). Its present appearance dates from 1779–89, having been rebuilt to a design by James Stuart after a devastating fire. King William Court is famous for its baroque Painted Hall, which was painted by Sir James Thornhill in honour of King William III and Queen Mary II (the ceiling of the Lower Hall), of Queen Anne and her husband, Prince George of Denmark (the ceiling of the Upper Hall) and George I (the north wall of the Upper Hall). The Painted Hall was deemed too magnificent for the pensioned seamen's refectory, and was never regularly used. It became a tourist destination, opened for viewing. In 1824 a ‘National Gallery of Naval Art’ was created in the Painted Hall, where it remained until 1936, when the collection was transferred to the National Maritime Museum newly established in the Queen's House and adjacent buildings.
In 2002 the whole site was opened to visitors. The Painted Hall, the Chapel, the grounds and a Visitor Centre is open to the public daily, free of charge, with guided tours available."

The ceiling of my work place has a beatiful glass block ceiling. I hit myself on the head later when I realized the camera was set at ISO 1600. Doh! That really messes up the quality of thei image...
This is a multiple exposure shot that I layered together in photoshop. I then used shadows/highlights to even out the exposures.
There is a lovely stained glass ceiling over the Arkansas Senate Chambers. Due to a security feature it's impossible to get an unobstructed view of the entire ceiling.

Croome Park is a landscaped country park surrounding Croome Court, in Worcestershire. It was Lancelot 'Capability' Brown's first complete landscape design, begun in 1751 for George Coventry, 6th Earl of Coventry. The mansion house was also designed by Brown and is a rare example of his architectural work.
A great deal of the internal fittings of the house were designed by Robert Adam
The Court has recently been acquired by the National Trust and is currently being renovated.
Croome Court is a grade 1 listed building.
Detail of the apse showing the rich decoration added when this part of the church was rebuilt in the 1890s by architect Basil Champneys.
Situated on a hill top overlooking Wednesbury, alongside the neighbouring copper-spired Catholic church, St Bartholomew's is the town's ancient parish church, though most of what one sees today is the result of extensive rebuilding/remodelling in 1827(nave) and 1890 (chancel).
The soot-blackened exterior gives no hint of the beautiful interior, enlivened with rich stencil decoration at the east end (by Godfrey Gray of Cambridge), most noticeably the Christ in Majesty over the chancel arch with it's vivid green background. The polygonal apse beyond (a medieval feature but entirely rebuilt in 1890) is similarly detailed, though harder to appreciated in the subdued light.
The church contains a fine set of fifteen windows by Kempe, all richly detailed with Old and New Testament scenes and figures. There are several 17th century and later monuments too.
The church is normally locked outside of services alas, a pity as the interior is well worth seeing, one of the most beautiful urban churches in the Midlands.
Our first full day in Rome we went to see the Vatican. After going through St Peter's Basilica, we explored the Vatican museum. This is one of the many rooms with decorative marble columns, etc. and ornate, painted ceilings
A huge gecko was crawling on the ceiling in my flat. Before I was to rid of it (to my wife's demand), I decided to take this photo.
On Wednesday night, I enjoyed a meal here with friends. We had just found out a new chemo cocktail was available for my friend and we celebrated the hopeful path. It was a good night.

A friend and I were lucky enough to be invited on a tour of Draper's Hall in the City of London. This is the home of the Draper's Company, which is the third Livery Company of London. The original building on the site was a mansion built by Thomas Cromwell in the 1530s, but it was forfeited to Henry VIII in 1540 when Cromwell was executed. It was then sold on to the Draper's Company in 1543 for the sum of approx.£1200.
The Hall was destroyed by the Great Fire of London in1666, although, as it had large gardens, it acted as a fire break, and many people threw their valuables over the wall in order to save them.
It was rebuilt between 1667 and 1671, but in 1772 was badly damaged by another fire. It was rebuilt, and then the interiors were greatly changed in the 19th century by the Victorians.
It was virtually impossible to see the outside of the building as it is now surrounded by skyscrapers, and new building work.
