Not sure where it is but I would guess that its of Islamic origin as ther are no picture of saints or other people in it.

I thought that at first, but I thought I could discern some representative artwork within it.

You got a good day for it. Most times I've been up there you can't see that far!

I managed to see the Central Fells of the Lakes from a distance of about 50 miles just West of Jct 27 of the M6 on my ride out today.

Im not thinking Islam but more Russian Orthodox Church, but that would put it in the east if you dont count the ones in the US and Alaska.

All the panels seem to be decorated with birds. I'm wondering whether it's just a room in a big stately home, and the religous link is just a distraction.

You're on the right lines there. Shall I reveal the answer, or can anyone else now enlighten us?

Is it a tomb/mausoleum?

Is it a big building with gold bits?

Here's an indoor one for a change. Where's this?

How did you get into my bedroom?

For anyone who's interested, it's the ceiling of the "Arab Room" at Cardiff Castle. A Victorian interpretation on a Middle Eastern theme. Stunning to look at, anyway.

There are a few things I've never considered doing in my life.

That is one of them.

From another thread

If you know the answer, don't answer. It will only spoil the fun. And cost me money.

I want my pint.

Jaded · « **Reply #1893 on:** 12 June, 2009, 12:55:09 am »

I want your pint too.

I can't believe that I've just spent the last 20 minutes looking for a planning application for change of use to a pub in the hope I'd get a~~n address~~ pint.

I'm guessing it's nowhere near the place given as your location in your profile. Might be subject to water ingress.

Is it at Forest Green Rovers FC?

If we're doing sculpture, how about this?
