Things Are Looking

A couple of weeks ago, we had a contest on views that one can see when you look down. Now it is the opposite. These are the views that you see when you look UP. As before, please ensure that there is a clear indication that this is a view that one sees from looking up. A solid photo of clear blue sky cannot be distinguished from a photo of a solid blue wall without any other point of references.

Contest Rules:

1. Any digital photo or digitally-scanned photo relevant to the theme will be accepted within the contest period. In case there's a gray area, or you're not sure if the picture is suitable, check with me first.

2. Size limitations: Your photo is only limited to the file size limitation set by PhysicsForums. However, your may want to consider reducing the size of your photo if the file size exceeds 1 Mb. If your file is being hosted elsewhere, I will have to see how it is being displayed here, and I may ask you to resize and resubmit if it causes problems.

3. Upload your photos to any of the photo servers such as imageshack or photobucket. Then post it the relevant contest thread and link your picture using the img command. PM me if you do not know how. Alternatively, you may simply upload your image file to PF, and then have the full image displayed in your post.

4. Only ONE picture per member per contest. Once a picture is posted, it cannot be changed other than a total withdrawal by that member from that week's photo contest. Exceptions will be made for modification to comply with the rules, such as resizing.

5. At the end of the contest period, I will open a poll and every PF member can vote for the picture they like best.

6. Note that in case we have a large number of entries, I will do the polling in more than one thread. If that's the case, you can vote in each of the polling threads. The photos will be assigned in the polling threads in the order they were submitted.

7. The photo of the subject must be something that you took directly, not via in intermediary medium, and not taken by someone else. Unless otherwise noted, a photo of another photo, painting, print, etc. does not qualify.

8. You can use a picture only once. Once it is used in a contest, it cannot be reused in another contest.

9. Please post only pictures meant for submission in this thread. Photos not meant for submission must not be posted in the contest thread. Posting of more than one photos by a member may result in an automatic disqualification from the week's contest.

The chandelier and painted ceiling of the Buryat State Academic Opera and Ballet Theatre in Ulan-Ude, capital of the autonomous Republic of Buryatia, Russian Federation (Siberia). The likeness of Vladimir Lenin can be seen on the red banner, a bit below center of the picture.

Looking up to - it doesn't get any higher. :oldwink:
If the sight doesn't convert you, some days those windows can be opened and you hear a choir sing.

(Celebrated octagon in Ely Cathedral. The whole is a structure in Timber, quite discussed by engineers. engineering times structure ely octagon - Google Search Apparently you could not make it today because you can't get the wood, you know, there are now no trees big enough.

Ely is some 85 miles from London, but only a small fraction visitors to London ever go there - that is still a lot of people. Ely is a not very important town nowadays but in Norman times it was quite insignificant. Later on it went into decline! What was important was originally an abbey (founded 672) refounded and reconstructed as cathedral by Normans - complex architectural history as well as political history - area at the time of fens (marshlands) where the last Anglo-Saxon resistance to the Norman conquest held out for a time. )
