This is a reprise of an earlier image, also on Flickr, but exploring with my new camera. I twiddled all the knobs and found a random setting that seems to give excelent colour and quality indoors. Love this ceiling, its so playfull.

Despite the image of ancient Greek structures and statuary being pure white (which is the condition in which most of it has reached us today), it was invariably painted a riot of colors. This is a reconstruction of part of a temple, showing the likely palette of colors.

The Abbey Mills Pumping Station
Designed by Joseph Bazalgette, Edmund Cooper, and Charles Driver.
Built 1865-68
Housing eight beam engines by Rothwell & Co. of Bolton
The Abbey Mills Pumping Station (Pumping Station F) is a large industrial barn, some 57m long, 29m wide and 23m high. It is the fifth in a series of sewage pumping stations built here since 1869, and uses state-of-the-art submersible pumps which halved the installation cost. Previous Victorian stations are now listed and used for other purposes.
The superstructure consists of lightweight steel 'A' frames at 6m centres, bearing upon a square frame which carries the travelling cranes used for maintenance. It is this square structure that is at the heart of the design and becomes the key to the expression of the gable ends.
Four sewers are brought together into one large concrete culvert which forms the base of the entire building. Using 16 pumps with a capacity of two cubic metres per second, the sewage is then pumped up 13m and discharged into the upper level culvert. From there it discharges into the 1869 main outfall sewer and the treatment plant at Barking.
Four diesel generators in the middle of the building power the installation while a central gantry and two side-aisle travelling cranes allow the pumps and other machinery to be lifted for maintenance.
Externally, the roof is penetrated by four vent cowls for the machinery. Louvres along the roof ridge provide ventilation to the barn itself. The sides are also louvred.

Bowl, Mimbres Polychrome

Eisele Collection
Mimbres pottery is made by hand; no wheel or turning device or puki was used. The body of the vessel was built up with coiled ropes of clay. A sherd or gourd tool was used to scrape the coils to produce a smooth surface. After the vessel was dry a white kaolin clay slip was applied. Then the design was painted on with an iron-based mineral paint with a plant-based binder.

American
Herbert Adams (1858 - 1945)
How does this bust show the influence of the Itallian Renaissance? The neckline, hair, expression, and pose are all borrowed from Renaissance sculpture. Like the earlier Italian artists, Adams started with unblemished marble and added color tints to make this sculpture more lifelike.
