Good Evening 🕊️ #SundayCeiling “Let your love be the kindness to make a homeless person believe that a soul needs something more than just four walls and a ceiling”. #ceilings #architecture #SundayInspiration #SundayMood #KindnessMatters #soulfood #compassion #love #mindfulness
View up at a fancy ceiling, with white plaster decorations and cornices on a grey background. There's striped wallpaper, and a big multi-paned window in the wall ahead. Framing the pic on three sides is a curved banister rail and the edge of a staircase.

As it should be, without a National Guard as far as the eye can see.
Looking up at barrel vaulted ceiling between clerestory levels of Carlisle Cathedral, towards stained glass window at east. The ceiling consists of side to side bands of 8 square panels with ten-pointed stars in the centre of each that are surrounded by 16 six-pointed stars on an intense blue background the squares are all banded in light blue-green strips bearing white carved dentation. At intersections of squares are more stars, mostly in gold, some with red centres. The image shows two brackets with angels near the ceiling, sprung from columns on the fenestrated walls of the topmost two levels of the church.
Striking vaulted #SundayCeiling of 12th C @carlislecathedral.bsky.social.
Replaced c.1400 after devastating fire in 1292.
Decorative scheme follows medieval original w detailed design and colour (angels and stars) the work of top artist Owen Jones in restoration of 1853-6.
The ceiling of a small chapel is shown: it has elaborate fan vaulting set on a background of bright light sky blue, with gold decorative work around where all the semi-circular or quarter-circular tops of the vaults meet the ceiling. Bosses with gold and red are fitted in the spaces left where four circles almost touch. The unglazed window arches at the left side have floral shaped tracery at the tops, and there is further elaborate stonework over the end where a shrine would be fitted beneath.

Bishop Audley's Chantry Chapel in Salisbury Cathedral with it's glorious fan vaulted #SundayCeiling was built in 1524.
Sadly the original brightly coloured decorations and small statues didn't survive the 1540s Reformation, but it's pretty brilliant as it is.
