Those types of ceilings are so hard to figure out how to frame, shoot...whether to be symmetrical or not. I like how you did this one, angles on corners work to frame the ceiling view. I wonder if these date to 500 ad?

That's amazing... 7,000 coats of arms. Nicely photographed to show all the details.
