I went and had a massage and while I was waiting in the lounge the ceiling particularly caught my eye.

Ceiling murals, painted by Edward Trumbull, in the lobby of the Chrysler Building.

I know I was supposed to be looking at the exhibits at the Kiasma Museum of Contemporary Art in Helsinki, but the ceilings were really neat!

This isn't desaturated, by the way - the ceilings were white.

The inside of the dome on the 1888 Indiana State House is lined with a unique art glass design. The building was listed on the National Register in 1975.

Composite ceilings from Italy Rome, and Beijing China.

Shot at the paris airport. I like the bluish lightings and the small windows on the ceiling.

Arbroath Abbey

We went in this room more because I'd noted the lovely blue ceiling than because I wanted to look at the Acropolis treasures...

The British Museum has quite a few pieces 'rescued' from old Greek temples that the Greeks would like back.

The 544 years old Bhanda Shaha Jain Temple, situated at the south-west end of the walled city, is the oldest Jain temple in Bikaner. It was built by a rich Jain Merchant, Bhandasa Oswal in 1468 A.D. before even Bikaner was founded and was completed by his daughter after his death in 1514 A.D. It is said that Ghee (liquid butter) was used as a substitute of water while the foundation of this temple was being laid and the stones for construction had to be transported all the way from Jaisalmer. The spire of this temple with its ‘Sringas’ and ‘Upsringas’ of decorative Sikharas and its gilded flagstaff, towers are high above the rest of the city and can be seen from far. The temple is dedicated to Suminath Ji, the fifth Tirthankar of the Jains. The paintings from Jain scriptures on the interior walls and ceiling of this temple are of much later times. The sacred sanctum walls have gold and Meenakari work.
