This is the ceiling area of the Blackfriars II Theatre in Staunton, Virginia, which oddly enough is pronounced like "Stanton." We were always messing up our Virginia towns. We also went to "Buena Vista" which instead of being pronounced as though it were Spanish, apparently in Virginia it is no longer a Spanish name but a Southern one, and is prounounced "BYOOONah Vista"
Anyway, our camera simply cannot do justice to this theater. It was amazing.

It is totally a southern thing to pronounce names differently. Here are a few example of towns in Georgia.:
Houston- How ston
Vienna- V eye en a
Martinez- Martin ez
