The beautiful tiles on the house smile in the sunshine. They look much better now they've been power washed.
Roof tiles, voluntarily decorated by plants, illustrating that life grows everywhere on Earth, hospitable location or not. Surely it grows someplace else in the universe. Wish we would find it "out there", sooner than later. Blotzheim, Alsace FR.

The Tilal Liwa Hotel in Abu Dhabi's desert advertises itself with such an image and this image drew my attention to the hotel. In the original, of course, there is still a Bedouin with a dromedary in the archway, but I didn't have that - too much desert romance. Of course, the picture only succeeds early in the morning at sunrise - on the one hand because of the orientation of the pool, on the other hand the pool is only open from 8 a.m. and that early you can still get it deserted.

These tiles were hand made in Southern France. Each one was different and I had to grade and select them for an acceptable finish, to try to emulate the skill that went into making them.
This tile roof is rather brutal not least because of its riverside setting. However in a crop it is rather striking.
