Sail & Saucer
Uploaded: December 14, 2012
The high ceiling over a stairwell of two long flights; I'm standing at the base of the first flight which ends at a landing (not shown) at bottom left.
The second flight ascends on the other side of the wall that supports the two Ionic columns. What I found so interesting about this stairwell was the
dome treatment. Six vaults are formed in the ceiling, and a "sail" dome starts to fill each one... But then, a smaller saucer dome (the inset, darker,
circular dome) cuts into the middle of each sail dome's center, creating a domed dome in each vault. The former Pension Building, from 1887.

BetterPhoto Websites: If you see an orange website link directly under the photographer's name, it's totally okay. It's not spam. The reason: BetterPhoto is the one that offers these personal photography websites. We are supporting our clients with those links.
Unavailable EXIF: If there is no other information but 'Unavailable' in the EXIF (meaning no EXIF data exists with the photo), the 'Unavailable' blurb is not displayed. If there is any info, it shows. Many photos have the EXIF stripped out when people modify the image and resave it, before uploading.
The following truth is one of the core philosophies of BetterPhoto:
