Detail of the ceiling of the church of Santa Maria de Cós (Alcobaça), which was part of a now ruined convent. Built in 1669-1671, but work on the decoration went on for another 50 years or so.

Looking up into one of the "hats." For a sym-freak like myself, it doesn't get a lot better than this. I was drunk on the symmetry.
Situated along the Swinomish Channel, and across from La Conner, WA, is the Swinomish Indian Reservation. It is at Swadabs Landing that three Pavilions may be found. They are designed to resemble traditional hats worn by some tribal members.
As you can see, I had a quickie trip to the other side of the state, partly to photograph these structures for a client. While their copies were processed in color, I did my favorites in black and white.
I've placed this on the map, but unfortunately they are too new to appear on the satellite photo.

Here's a spiffy Flickr link where you can see them building the pavilions:

And last, but not least, the design of these structures was carried out by Womer and Associates:
The ceiling paintings in Witley Parish Church were painted by the Italian artist Antonio Bellucci. The three principle paintings on the ceiling are; the lamentation, the ascension and the nativity.
The main paintings are surrounded by ten small paintings of cherubs ; Crown of thorns, Chalice, Judas’ money bag, Christ’s raiment and dice, Ladder, Hammer and nails, Spear and vinegar sponge, Mailed glove, Veronica’s veil, whipping post and flails.

Ceiling Dehumidifiers, called Ceiling mounted Dehumidifiers (Wall-mounted Dehumidifier), is also a series of refrigerating dehumidifiers. The technology of this series is based on the condensation principle. The delicate design makes it a slim body, which can be can be hidden in a special chamber or cases for easy above ceiling installation.
The replaceable and washable filter is easy to be removed and cleaned, which effectively eliminating bad smell like cigarette smell and odor. The sterilization keeps the air into a healthy one. It smartly fits into the above ceiling space without the influence of the overall room decoration. Base on a Daikin compressor, it has a huge and rapid capacity for drying. The Ceiling / Wall mounted dehumidifier is also configured with drainage pipe, leading condensed water to the nearest drain outlet. The 4 stages of air purification inner make the processed air cleaned and purified into the room.
Application of Ceiling Dehumidifiers
Swimming pool, Small-area plant warehouse, villa, basement, meeting room, family, office space, laboratory room, computer room laboratories, hospitals, warehouse storage, schools & institutions, libraries, computer servers etc.
How Ceiling Dehumidifiers work
Our Ceiling mounted Dehumidifier is a refrigerant type. The principle is the same as Industrial dehumidifier. The main principle is to lower air dew point in order to realize the dehumidification result. It is perfect to perform especially in warm, humid conditions.

St John the Baptist, Bere Regis, Dorset
Built in the 15th century the nave roof is said to have been a gift from Cardinal Morton whos face is the largest boss on the roof.
It is made of entirley from oak, then painted and gilded and features the full length figures of the twelves apostles. There is also the shiled of arms for Cardinal Morton plus the Tudor Rose and a golden cord symbolising the marriage between henry Tudor and Elizabeth of York in 1486.
Cardinal John Morton was born in the Parish of Bere Regis in c.1420.
He was educated at Balliol College, Oxford.
In 1477 he was sent by Edward IV to the French court as ambassador.
In 1478 he was made Archdeacon of Leicester and in 1479 Bishop of Ely.
From 1472-9 he was Master of the Rolls.
Although he was imprisoned in Brecknock Castle by the Tudors at the end of The War of the Roses, Henry VII quickly made him Archbishop of Canterbury in 1486, he was then elevated to Cardinalate in 1598.
He was also made Lord chancellor in 1487 and was credited with 'Mortons Fork', where by no one was exempt from tax.
He built the 'old palace' at Hatfield House and was the mentor to the young Thomas More.
He died at Knole House, Kent on 15 Sept 1500.
He was buried as requesdted in the central crypt of the Virgin Mary at Canterbury CAthedral, where there is also a monument to him bearing his effigy.
In conjunction with this he was erected a Chantry chapel in Bere Regis but as this was eneglected and damaged during the dissolutions it is now a quiet side chapel.
Painted panel from the vault of the chapter house, the last remnants of a series of large scale figures that formed the original 14th century decoration of the ceiling. Exhibit in the Undercroft beneath the Minster's crossing, a gallery space created within the cathedral's foundations during major underpinning project of the 1970s.
York Minster is England's largest medieval cathedral and almost impossible to do justice to. It has an awesome presence that cannot fail to impress.
Uniquely the cathedral was spared the ravages of the Civil War that decimated the medieval art of most English cathedrals and churches, and it thus possesses the largest collection of medieval glass in Britain throughout most of it's vast windows.
Sadly this fortune was not matched by the Minster's vulnerability to fire which has ravaged the building in 3 major outbreaks, the worst in 1829 when a madman set fire to the precious medieval furniture of the choir, which was destroyed along with the organ and the high vaulted ceiling of the eastern half of the church. Only 11 years after this tragedy a careless workman accidentally set fire to the nave roof, which also lost it's vault. Both roofs were rebuilt in replica, but a further fire caused by lightning strike in 1984 destroyed the south transept roof (rebuilt 4 years later).
Most medieval cathedrals were provided with stone vaulted ceilings precisely to avoid the problems suffered here, but York's builders found that building on such an unprecedentedly large scale brought limitations, thus all the Minster's high ceilings had to be built of wood in imitation of stone. An Achilles' Heel, but a beautiful one!
