In my hometown there is an old Hotel which was used as a hospital(Lazarett) during the 2nd World War. ..... Lately ,at a visit, I noticed this old sign at the wall....It´s the sign of the "Red Cross", if you can imagine!!!?? Times and weather have washed the white colour......Tiles have been replaced ....History!!!!Today " Johannes Itten " would have been enthusiastic about the colours:-)))).. I´m really flashed , anyway<3
when I walked back to the hotel after enjoying my dinner, I spotted this beautifully tiled sidewalk, cleaned up for the night.
There are only a few of such beautiful in the streets of the heritage district George Town. This one id to complete my sidewalk series from Penang.

Tiled roof shot in Neive, a small picturesque village, in the Langhe region of Italy. I shot this with my Olympus E-M1.
Some azulejo tiled buildings in Porto. Shot with the OM-1, Mark II and the OM 12-45mm F4.0 pro lens.
Possible for Macro Mondays, lens wide open.
Let me know if you cannot view the tape measure at almost 2 centimeters/centimetres.
At first I tried building the image with the complete long stairway. After cutting and adding I figured out that a basic rectangular/square tile was all I needed for replication. While it's not all that apparent two different samples were used, one horizontal and one vertical. I also discovered that if I did a little more shading to each tile I could quickly make this appear as a true weave pattern. Maybe next time, we'll see.
Done for the Tuesday/Thursday Things group.
Thank you for your kind visit. Have a wonderful and beautiful day! ❤️ ❤️ ❤️
Croft Castle
These wonderful floor tiles are in the Church Of St. Michael and All Saints at Croft Castle. They date mostly from the 15th century, but some are even older. They were moved to the church from the former Croft Castle when it was demolished in the 17th century. Various designs can be seen (although I haven’t been able to get the entire floor in the photo) these include, abstract patterns, Coats of Arms, including those of England and France, along with leading families of the period. Although they are now all mixed up, originally the groups would have formed geometric patterns.
Thank you for your visit and your comments, they are greatly appreciated.
For Macro Mondays ;Tile; theme - these are some sample tiles that didn't make the cut but for some reason I have kept.
