This is a stunning upward-looking (worm's-eye view) photograph of the interior dome of St. Paul's Cathedral in London. The image captures the ornate ceiling directly above, showing the massive central dome ringed by windows that flood the space with natural light. The dome's interior is decorated with intricate gilded mosaics and painted scenes depicting religious narratives. Surrounding the central dome are elaborately coffered barrel-vaulted arches, pendentives filled with large-scale figurative paintings (scenes from the life of St. Paul, painted by Sir James Thornhill), and richly detailed gold and white plasterwork throughout. The symmetrical composition and HDR processing bring out the extraordinary depth and detail of Christopher Wren's Baroque masterpiece.

Looking for a snap with a #round theme for the #BlueSkyArtShow I thought of this 2020 snap of the dome of St Paul's Cathedral.

A dramatic black and white photograph of a traditional barrel aging cellar with rows of wooden whiskey barrels stacked along both sides of a long corridor, creating a symmetrical vanishing point perspective under exposed wooden beam ceiling.
