Inside of the Church of the Spilt Blood, in St. Petersburg, Russia. Beautiful paintings, right?
But they aren't paintings - they're MOSAICS... all of it. The tiles are about the size of a fingernail...! Every last bit of color, design, and art is a never-ending blanket of hand-laid tiles.
Even though it was looted and fairly destroyed during multiple wars, 27 years of restoration brought the church back into the public domain. It has not, however, been re-consecrated as a church since the restoration. But it does serve as an awe-inspiring monument of pride for locals.
A sexangular tiling. It's a word I came across while I was reading about a moth. It just means hexagonal. A somewhat obsolete word!
Adjective
(comparative more sexangular, superlative most sexangular)
It's been even more slow-going than usual on Flickr these days!
This was in the Bathroom at Frisch's Big Boy - I don't usually take photos in public bathrooms but I liked these tiles.

GolestÄn Palace (Persian: Ś©Ų§Ų® ŚÆŁŲ³ŲŖŲ§Ł) is the former royal Qajar complex in Iran's capital city.
The oldest of the historic monuments in Tehran, the Golestan Palace (also Gulistan Palace) (The Rose Garden Palace) belongs to a group of royal buildings that were once enclosed within the mud-thatched walls of Tehranās Historic Arg (citadel).
The Arg was built during the reign of Tahmasp I (r. 1524-1576) of the Safavid dynasty (1502-1736), and was later renovated by Karim Khan Zand (r. 1750-1779). Agha Mohamd Khan Qajar (1742-1797) chose Tehran as his capital. The Arg became the site of the Qajar (1794-1925). The Court and Golestan Palace became the official residence of the royal Qajar family. The palace was rebuilt to its current form in 1865 by Haji Abol-hasan Mimar Navai.
During the Pahlavi era (1925-1979) Golestan Palace was used for formal royal receptions and the Pahlavi dynasty built their own palace at Niavaran. The most important ceremonies held in the Palace during the Pahlavi era were the coronation of Reza Khan (r. 1925-1941) in Takht-e Marmar and the coronation of Mohammad Reza Pahlavi (r. 1941-deposed 1979) in the Museum Hall.
In between 1925 and 1945 a large portion of the buildings of the palace were destroyed on the orders of Reza Shah who believed that the centuries old Qajar palace should not hinder the growth of a modern city. In the place of the old buildings modern 1950s and 1960s style commercial buildings were erected.

Cairo's Islamic Museum is one of the finest dedicated to the art of Islam and its rich collection contains much to enjoy in all mediums.
Especially fine are the ceramics, with tilework and glazed pottery adorned with exquisitely intricate designs, whilst a good proportion incorporates elements of figurative imagery, normally forbidden under Islam and reflecting a more relaxed attitude to applied art and the pleasure it gives.
The museum is a delight and the beautifully displayed collection will richly reward a visit.

In ChiloƩ Island, Chile, traditional houses are entirely covered in wood tiles, measuring aroung 60x10 cm each (aprox. 24x4"). Originally all tiles were straight, but each owner tried to make his home unique by cutting the tiles in different shapes. Different styles emerged, and when shapes alone were not enough, owners started to combine, arrange and paint to create unique styles. The result is a immense variety of wood tiling.
In this collection I tried to show a selection of wood tilings, and I also tried to create a coding for identifying unique tiles and arrangements.

Mosaic tile decorates an archway at the 17th century hammam in the bazaar at Kerman, Iran.
This mosaic tilework seems far less delicate than the examples on the mosque earlier in my photostream.
I usually take my cover pictures outside. However, today it is a balmy 27 degrees F with a gentle 21 mph breeze. This translates to what feels like 13 degrees F, with lots of clouds. This is not the day to take a picture in the sunshine.
Sooooo, I found the next best thing. My son's sunny yellow room with the shades drawn. The penguin is a nod to my boy. Thanks Noah for lending me your room!
