The phrase "staring at the ceiling" brings to mind an annoying episode of sleeplessness or possibly a vacant state of mind. Here are some ceilings that could liven up the old expression. Some are colored glass, some wood or molded plaster  strangely enough, one ceiling pictured below is made of over a million iridescent beetles. Whatever the materials, they are spectacular.
