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.

It's been ages since I did any pano-sabotage art, so here's a warped view of my bathroom from some shots I took last year!
Very heavily manipulated, layered and recoloured; you can see small copies of the 2 original photos I used in the first comment box below.
Do check out the cool Pano-Vision group if you've not tried doing pano-sabotage before:

MacroMondays the theme is tile for 6/23.
Right now this is my favorite- working on my diningroom table with available light. Would y’all like to see them enlarged for context? Methinks I love these so much bc I found and bought them on one of my visits to my DD in the NL!
Btb, If you look in the first comment box you’ll see where they usually are amongst the teapots…. giggling
The front edge of each tile is 3 inches so I’ve cropped it down so it’s approximately 2.6 cms- see measurement in the photostream . Will also attempt to put it in tge first comment box without loosing the bookcase.

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.
