  • The painting by Paul Rubens on the ceiling of Banqueting House, on 17th September 2017, in Whitehall, Westminster, London, England. The ceiling of the Banqueting House is a masterpiece and the only surviving in-situ ceiling painting by Flemish artist, Sir Peter Paul Rubens. It is also one of the most famous works from the golden age of painting. The canvases were painted by Rubens and installed in the hall in 1636. The three main canvasses depict The Union of the Crowns, The Apotheosis of James I and The Peaceful Reign of James I. Most likely commissioned by King Charles I in 1629-30, this ceiling was one of his last sights before he was executed on a scaffold outside on Whitehall in 1649.

  • Looking up from the ground, we see above our heads some Renaissance frescoes (the painting on the left is of Vienna) that were painted on the ceiling of the first courtyard in Palazzo Vecchia in Florence's Piazza della Signoria. The first courtyard was designed in 1453 by Michelozzo and the frescoes on the walls, representing scenes of the Austrian Habsburg estates, were painted in 1565 by Giorgio Vasari for the wedding celebration of Francesco I de' Medici, the eldest son of Cosimo I de' Medici, and Johanna of Austria, sister of the Emperor Maximilian. The harmoniously proportioned columns, at one time smooth, and untouched, were at the same time richly decorated with gilt stuccoes. Their faded appearance now lends them a quality of fine antiquity.

  • Tourists crowd in the Salon de Mars in the King’s Grand Apartment, Versaille, Paris.

The court ballets were strictly regulated and required many rehearsals; the princes took part in them, sometimes mixed in with professional dancers.

While the exterior of the cube looks like a gigantic rusty rubix-cube, inside is really a kind of infinity of self-reflection, covered entirely, floor to ceiling, in mirrors.

  • The interior (including the painted tin tiles on the ceiling) of Manze's Eel, Pie and Mash shop in Walthamstow, East London, UK.Although the shop still trades under the original Manze name, it is now independently owned and no longer part of the Manze family. This resturant is a Grade-2 listed building with antique pressed-tin tiles on the ceiling.Eel, pie and mash shops are a traditional but dying business. Changing tastes and the scarcity of the eel has meant that the number of shops selling this traditional working class food has declined to just a handful mostly in east London. The shops were originally owned by one or two families with the earliest recorded, Manze's on Tower Bridge Road being the oldest surviving dating from 1908. Generally eels are sold cold and jellied and the meat pie and mash potato covered in a green sauce called liquor.

  • Harrier and Jaguar, a grand scale art installation by artist Fiona Banner in the main space Duveen Galleries in Tate Britain gallery. The two stripped down decommissioned fighter jets dominate these great spaces. A Harrier Jump Jet, suspended from the ceiling painted with feint feathers, and the Jaguar, stripped of all ot's paint and polished to a gleaming high silver. Says the artist: "I remember long sublime walks in the Welsh mountains with my father, when suddenly a fighter plane would rip through the sky , and shatter everything. It was so exciting, loud and overwhelming. It would really take our breath away. The sound would arrive from nowhere, all you would see was a shadow and then the plane was gone. At the time the Jump Jets were at the cutting edge of technology but to me they were like dinosaurs, prehistoric, from a time before words."

  • CCTV cameras keep watch on the population, seen in front of a giant construction hoarding in Whitehall, Westminster, London. With the classical figures in the background symbolising Britain's population, a society constantly under the gaze and surveillance by the state and whose data is now known to be accessed without permission for security reasons. The illustration is from the Peter Paul Rubens painting 'The Apotheosis of James I' which appears on a ceiling inside the Banqueting House, behind this screen and location of King James' son, Charles 1st execution.

  • Flying machine invention and Last Supper painting at Chateau de Clos Lucé, home to Leonardo da Vinci for the last 3 years of his life and now a celebration of his life and achievements, Amboise, France. Hanginf from the ceiling in an outbuilding that honours the great man's work in France, we see a model of a human in flight with the heavy mechanics that da Vince saw as Man's conquest of the sky. In the background is a copy of his Last Supper, a late 15th-century mural painting by Leonardo da Vinci in the refectory of the Convent of Santa Maria delle Grazie, Milan. It is one of the world's most famous paintings, and one of the most studied, scrutinized, and satirized.

  • Plastic legs to represent healing hang from the ceiling of the church. Often the lines between Candomble and Catholicism are blurred. This is especially true with the Sao Lazaro event in late January in Salvador, Bahia, Brazil, the city which is known as the home of Candomble. Sao Lazaro represents healing and the sick.

  • Seen low from behind stage, a male voice choir are lined up to sing during their performance at an open-air temporary auditorium during the Lambeth Show, an inner-city cultural and family event held annually in Dulwich Park, a leafy suburb of South London. The choristers are dressed in white shirts which are untidily untucked from their dark trousers (pants). Their heads echo the purple, yellow and red spots from the overhead lights. The front of stage is covered by a curved ribbed roof structure that arches over the mens' heads. The singers look small in scale to the cavernous height of this ceiling, occupying a small percentage of the frame. We cannot see the choir's conductor, nor their audience but we get an impression of wide area in which to project their voices
