The Palace of Flowers: A grand and highly ornamented reception room, the Phul Mahal was constructed by Abhay Singh, son of Ajit Singh, in the mid – 18th century. This elevated room is less accessible, and would not have been used for receiving outside visitors but for more restricted male assemblies. It was probably intended as a private audience hall, where the ruler could confer with his thakurs and ministers, and perform certain personal rituals, such as the celebration of birthdays. Being open to the breeze, the room could also have served for some leisure pursuits such as listening to music. The architectural style of the interior – with its balustered and fluted columns – is derived from the palaces of Shah Jehan; though the outer casing, with elaborate jaali work, is typical of this part of Rajasthan. The paintings of the columns and walls are original, but the ceiling and its cornice were repainted in the mid 19th century, in the reign of Takhat Singh: his portrait and those of his sons feature in the scheme.
Walking through the Palm Room in the Waldorf Hilton at Aldwych in London, the glass ceiling detail is wonderfully lit from behind with sodium halide lighting.

The design of these ceilings "expand" the interior space like there are no boundaries between heaven and earth.

India Day 7 - Agra
The incredibly detailed ceiling of one of the many rooms of te White Palace within the Red Fort of Agra
"the abbey church of Wilhering is the most brilliant achievement of the Rococo style in the German-speaking world."
The ceiling of the Earnst & Young building held an interesting geometric opportunity. I layed on the floor for the shot and included the north wall that appears on the bottom of the image. I was shooting the building for a client and wanted a keeper for myself.
This unique ceiling is part of a Grade I-listed terracotta building and is the work of artist and designer Mary Watts. Over 70 people from the local community helped her create it between 1895 and 1904. It opened in 1898 and remains a working chapel to this day.
A parked car across the street casts a reflection of the sun through my window which has a potted plant growing next to it. I am unable to account for the cause of the horizontal lines as there is nothing but nine small panes through which the reflection is shining.
This is the vestibule (entry way) of "Our Lady Guadalupe Shrine" in La Crosse, WI. I took some pro bono shots for a relative who works there in the marketing department. This meant we got to break a rule and go in with a tripod and do some things most people can't do with their point and shoots. For this I got to stretch out the legs on the induro and lay on my back with the 14-24 a few inches off the ground and line this up perfectly. Of course I had to remove wide angle distortion in post as well as lighten up around the edges because the only light was from the chandelier in the center of the ceiling.
