Beautiful, "well-preserved stoves of various sizes and unique forms, decorated with colourful and very original ornaments" are one of the most interesting details of the interior of Karol Scheibler's residence in Łódź. "They are particular masterpieces of the art of ceramics. The tiles were imported among others from a pottery workshop of Seidel in Dresden as well as from a company Villeroy et Boch from Mettlach, which was well-known across Europe."

The Spanish love their glazed colourful tiles and use them on floors, on walls, inside and outside, made with great Artistry and creativity, they liven up the place and are part of the architecture.
These were 4 flights of stairs, a real eye-teaser.
Standing in front of it, it looked like a tall wall, I asked a model to go and sit on the first landing, free and comfortable, not posed.
I have it with all the steps, but the place was surrounded by palm trees, it was impossible to get a picture without shadow, this was over the midday= the least favourable moment to take a photograph, so I decided to go for a closer comp.

This is a memorial tile at Ground Zero, New York, to remember the victims of 911. My daughter took this picture while in New York last week.

The coastal belt of India - West Coast bears roof to homes made of clay tiles. This is traditional. The factories here are amazing. Took my daughters to witness the work here.
Huge brick based - cricular, oval underground furnaces. I was standing on one .....and could feel the heat. The fire here is to light up the interiors ...oh well fire to light in a already HOT place. I was worried for my cam whether it could stand such temperatures.
This was a great 30 minute tour. I had no choice but to do handheld shots.
Most of them 3 exposures. RAW. handheld. Program mode and Auto ISO , followed by bracketing - this does ISO bracketing whilst holding the shutter speed - perfect in very low light on the move conditions.
Ensure you set a threshold for ISO hi at 2600 or below. I had some shots that went upto 32000 ISO ! had to throw away some shots with intense contrasting areas - thanks to noise. Most of the images I will post here are at 1600 ISO and f/2.8 - 4.8...with potentially some sections layered in from a ISO 5000+
This was fun. One of the most challenging and fun shoot ins I have had.
NO HDR....just layer masking and some blending.
Henry M. Flagler's Florida East Coast Railroad Line reached Palm Beach in 1894. The Seaboard Airline Railroad Line laid tracks to Palm Beach as late as 1921-1924. It was after 1921 that the Seaboard Airline tracks reached West Palm Beach. Reference to the Seaboard Airline Railroad Station appears in a book printed in 1926.
S. Davis Warfield was president of Seaboard Air Line and in 1924 Warfield built a cross-state line that serviced West Palm Beach and Miami and Homestead in 1926, making a direct rail connection from one coast to the other, across the state. In 1938 the Atlantic Coast Line and the Seaboard Airline Railroad Line formed a network over Florida. Trains were air-conditioned and streamlined, and power was generated by Diesel-electric locomotives.
Stockholders in the railroad were important Palm Beach residents, and this station combined their taste in architecture, and their desire for service and convenience, for the community related to their vacation and retirement residences.
L. Phillips Clarke, who designed all of the Seaboard Railroad stations, built his first station at Auburndale. The West Palm Beach station appeared in 1924-1925.
The north-south dimension, paralleling the tracks, is approximately 178 feet. It is 43 feet deep, not including (at the sides) a 13-foot platform on the west. The building is mainly one story high, with a single office on a two-story level near the center and a three-stage tower on the south corner of the east or entrance facade on Tamarind Avenue.
The plan is rectangular, divided essentially in half, with express room and baggage room to the left or south, and behind the loggia the two waiting rooms, now one, separated on the east by restrooms and on the west by the ticket office. The loggia surrounds most of the front and ends, and the shed—roofed passenger platform on the rear or trackside.
The City of West Palm Beach, following a purchase of the building in 1988, tapped local architecture firm Oliver Glidden & Partners to head a $4.3 million restoration of the structure. The project was completed and the station rededicated in a ceremony attended by the Florida Governor in April 1991. Architect Robert D. Brown directed the restoration of ornamental cast stone elements, exterior masonry, doors, windows, and iron and tile work. The red clay tile roof was replaced, as were the electrical, lighting, plumbing and heating, ventilation, and air conditioning systems. Abatement of lead and asbestos was further required to bring the historic structure up to modern building code standards. The restoration effort earned the Florida Trust Award for Historic Preservation in 1994.
In summer 2012, the city finished an improvement project that included the installation of new sidewalks and more than five dozen trees around the building. The improvements were funded with a $750,000 Transportation Enhancement grant from the Federal Highway Administration, to which the city provided a $150,000 local match.
The station has two side platforms, with access to the station on both sides. West of the southbound platform is a long loop of bus bays serving Palm Tran routes. East of the northbound platform is the station house, a small parking lot, and bus stops for Greyhound Lines buses and Tri-Rail shuttles.

The tile is phenomenal. I'm assuming it's from Heath. I'm also assuming I can't afford it.
I cannot even pretend to understand the real horrors and grief of 9/11, nor the magnitude of the event, and the countless lives lost. I was ten at the time, and cannot imagine the scale of such a disaster. This memorial in Greenwich Village moved me so, with its carefully decorated tiles, portraying the individual stories and lives of the children and adults who were lost. There are thousands of tiles, all painted by children and those directly affected by the attacks around the world. I cry just looking at the photographs. If you are ever in the city, you must must must go. You simply must.
Tiles, especially blue ones are a common occurrence in the Azores. They are found in many places, on private houses, in village squares, in pubs and cafes and probably more often in churches.
