Caffe Domenica's Angel Ceiling, painted by Ann in 1984.

The balustrade appears to rise up into the air where the angels are. This is a perspective illusion that Ann created by elongating the posts to an unnatural extent. It was photographed from across the room, the intended viewing angle. From that angle, the elongation disappears and the perspective seems natural.

In the next photo you will see how the illusion was created.

(Note the angel with the yo-yo in the upper right. The yo-yo string appears to be tied to the finger of the angel and there is a real string and a real, down-scaled, yo-yo hanging into the space.)

I was told it is the oldest surviving ceiling in England, from 14th Century, but I doubt that.

The structure of San Bernardo alle Terme is similar to the Pantheon, since it is cylindrical, with a dome and an oculus. The edifice has a diameter of 22 meters. The octagonal dome coffers recalls that of the Basilica of Maxentius. The interior is graced by eight statues of saints, each housed in wall niches, the work (c. 1600) of Camillo Mariani. These are a good example of the so-called International Mannerism. The Chapel of St Francis is an addition to the ancient rotunda, and contains a sculpture of St Francis by Giacomo Antonio Fancelli.

The church was built on the remains of a circular tower, which marked a corner in the southwestern perimeter wall of the Baths of Diocletian (its pendant is today part of a hotel building, 225 meters southeast from San Bernardo alle Terme). These two towers flanked a large semicircular exedra; the distance between the towers attests to enormous scale of the original structure.

St Martin's is a lovely church in the centre of Birmingham with a strong arts-and-crafts feel to the design.

if you stare at it and unfocus your eyes, you will find happiness in your pants.
