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.

Wikipedia: Wat Pho, also spelled Wat Po, is a Buddhist temple complex in the Phra Nakhon District, Bangkok, Thailand. It is on Rattanakosin Island, directly south of the Grand Palace. Known also as the Temple of the Reclining Buddha, its official name is Wat Phra Chetuphon Wimon Mangkhalaram Rajwaramahawihan.
Phra Maha Chedi Si Rajakarn is a group of four large stupas, each 42 metres high. These four chedis are dedicated to the first four Chakri kings. The first, in green mosaic tiles, was constructed by Rama I to house the remnants of the great Buddha from Ayuthaya, which was scorched to remove its gold covering by the Burmese. Two more were built by Rama III, one in white tiles to hold the ashes of his father Rama II, another in yellow for himself. A fourth in blue was built by Rama IV who then enclosed the four chedis leaving no space for more to be built.

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.

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.
