The Lens Artist Challenge this week is as my title says “Looking Up, Looking Down” hosted by James @ JazziBeeBlog. – Featured image, the stained glass dome in Gallerie Lafayette, Paris, France
I’ve collated a few from my archives as I’m always looking up anyway especially if a building has an interesting ceiling. Looking down from up high is always fun especially in a busy city.
Looking Up
I had to tilt my camera almost flat to look up at the ornately carved dome of Santiago Cathedral, Spain
Lacy Dome with stained glass windows – Osmania University Arts College, Hyderabad, India
Paintings of the Apostles on the dome of Frederik’s Marble Church, Copenhagen, Denmark
Without looking up I wold have missed the intricate l’Etoile design tiled ceiling, Arc de Triomphe, Paris, France
Looking Down
Looking down from our hotel window in Hanoi, Vietnam, giving us
wonderful overview of the streets and rooftops of this busy city
An elevated look at Hoi Van Overpass, seen on our drive, from Da Nang to Hue, Vietnam
On the cable car leaving Lantau Peak and looking down onto Lantau Island,
Hong Kong, giving us a fantastic bird’s eye view

Loving the “from on high” shots – such views are always so relaxing
Yes like you’re above it all 😂 which you are of course
That first photo is instantly recognizable
Amazing isn’t it 🙂
Yes 😎
I knew there would be some great ‘ceiling’ views in this task and you’ve produced some brilliant ones from round the world. Thanks for joining in with the challenge!
Thanks James, a lot of detail is missed by not looking up
I especially enjoyed your collection of domes, showing such a contrast in the different ways they can be decorated and enhanced!
Great selections of worldly domes. And I do like the ones looking down at Hanoi Vietnam.
Thanks Donna, it’s one of my husband’s favourite photos 🙂
Some fab shots there, Ali, and I love your Header.
Thanks Jo 🙂
I too loved all of your domes Alison. Your Hanoi scene is remarkably uncluttered considering the crowds we saw there. Was it early morning/??
Thanks Tina, hard to tell and remember now!
I loved the church domes you posted. The city views were also breathtaking. Nice post and beautiful photos.
Thanks for your comments Egidio 🙂
Great selections. LOVE the domes!
Thanks John ☺️
The Lantau cable car photo brought back fond memories of our own visits to Hong Kong. Great shots.
Great photos for this challenge Alison! Well done!!
Thanks Anne 😁
Beautiful ceilings and great views
Love the picture from the gallery in Paris! We visited there earlier this year and I think I could stare at that incredible dome all day long…at least until my neck started to hurt 🙂
Yes me too 😊
In general I love taking shots of domes as well. My favourite is the one from Denmark.
Thanks for your comments Teresa 😊
