Trinity College Library. Dublin.
The Long Room
The 65-metre-long (213 ft) main chamber of the Old Library, the Long Room, was built between 1712 and 1732 and houses 200,000 of the Library's oldest books. Initially The Long Room had a flat ceiling, shelving for books only on the lower level, and an open gallery. By the 1850s the room had to be expanded as the shelves were filled due to the fact that the Library had been given permission to obtain a free copy of every book that had been published in Ireland and Britain. In 1860, The Long Room's roof was raised to accommodate an upper gallery.
The Long Room is lined with marble busts. The marble bust collection was formed when 14 busts from the famous sculptor Peter Scheemakers were acquired by the college. Many of the busts are of great philosophers, writers, and men who supported the college. The most outstanding bust in the collection is of the writer Jonathan Swift, created by Louis François Roubiliac]
The Long Room also holds one of the last remaining copies of the 1916 Proclamation of the Irish Republic. This proclamation was read by Patrick Pearse near the General Post Office on 24 April 1916. Visitors may also view the Trinity College harp (also known as the "Brian Boru harp") in The Long Room that is the oldest of its kind in Ireland dating back to the 15th century. The harp is made out of oak and willow and includes 29 brass strings.

In San Nicola dei Lorensi. (Sorry about the black blur in the corner, I had to stand in a doorway - no further entering was allowed into the church at the time - and I wanted to capture as much as possible of the ceiling.) The paintings were done in 1731 by Corrado Giaquinto.
This is a national church of France in Rome - the French name is Saint-Nicolas-des-Lorrains. This Baroque church was finished in 1632 after a design by the Frenchman François Desjardins (in Italian Francesco Giardini) - initially dedicated to the duchy of Lorraine.

Took this at Paolo's in Charlestown the other night. I was trying to get the texture of the tin ceiling to show better and ended up at one point with this, which I thought was kinda cool though not at all what it really looked like.

We stopped by Belvedere Palace to see Gustav Klimt's art exhibition yesterday. This magnificent place has been turned into an art gallery for many years. I was hoping to take some shots of the water fountains in its garden, but the fountains ran dry without any water. The back side of the palace had a Christmas market set up there. There were herds of tourists moving around. It took us almost two hours of waiting time to get into the palace since we didn't book our tickets in advance. Once we were in, it was still pretty crowded. The only chance of photography without any human in the frame was to point the camera to the ceiling. And so I did in one of the big rooms.
