Scenic Ceiling - St Giles Cathedral Fish EyesteemCreated with Sketch.

in photography •  7 years ago 

How often do you look up? Especially when you are indoors? Some times you can see some surprising and wonderful things. I always like to have a look straight up, especially when I am inside a really nice old building somewhere. In a lot of these places the building itself is a work of art!

This is the ceiling in St Giles Cathedral in the center of Edinburgh. I love the vivid color and the patterns but I think my favourite part here are those stars in the middle. I think the ceiling is meant to represent heaven. At least that would make sense to me. What do you think?

This is so helpful.

I'm inspired!

Wow that is an awesome shot

I have also always looked up and all around photography of course enhances us to look up

thanks! Absolutely, ever since I started with photography I look at everything differently :)

It's one bonus of the hobby or profession I think :)

I agree, it totally changes the way you look at things.

Its awesome

thanks!

I see it as an arena, the blue wouldbe like a field for a futuristic game. A mix between ancient architecture sand modern stadiums !

Interesting! I like the idea of mixing ancient and modern :) I can totally see it!

Stunning capture! Really nice angle and the photo is so symmetric! And nothing painted there, only heaven blue ceiling looks very dignified. Cheers mate!

Thanks mate, yeah its a beautiful ceiling. Wonderful in its simplicity yet stark colour contrast. Its not every cathedral that has a bright blue ceiling like that :)

Yeah , they mostly have stories from bible I guess, boring crap :)

lol! Maybe that's why they made the ceiling interesting. Gives you something to look at on sundays when the sermons are boring you ;)
