These are a few of the tiles on the floor of Malvern Priory. I expect they're quite old and I love looking at the many patterns they make. It's a beautiful building, and well worth a visit if you like old Churches.

When looking for restaurants while traveling, my wife and I like to find small family-owned businesses where the locals eat. "Vinny's Stock Pot" in Bay City, Michigan fits that bill.
As you can see in the picture, the floors are shiny, the counter is shiny, the stools and cooler are shiny, even Betty Boop (the statue on the counter) and the ceiling are shiny. The Stock Pot is CLEAN, which is my primary concern when eating at a restaurant.
Nearly everyone seemed to know the restaurant staff, and the servers knew them. "Eat", reads the admonition above the counter, and that's exactly what we did : )

心鏡 - Only you~
"被關注" 是天生的強烈且無意識的需求,慣性的互動模式,雙方可能因此發展出正面或負面的行為模式.
正面關注,鼓舞的眼神笑容,拍拍手,明確的讚美或建議,都是正面關注. 為了續攤正面能量,彼此容易走向正向關係;
負面關注,也能滿足"被關注"的需求. 可能無形中激勵彼此誤入歧途..

Looking down the aisle of the Holy Trinity church in the village of Wentworth in South Yorkshire. I hadn't expected the church to be so grand inside so I hadn't taken my tripod in for any photos. I made do with putting the camera on the floor and getting a worms eye view of the church instead.
Here, relatively modern encaustic floor tiles, made in a style rediscovered in the Gothic Revival, where the pattern is achieved by different kinds of clay rather than painting. The ceramics manufacturer Minton produced a wide range for ecclesiastical and domestic use in the 19th century. St George's was completely restored in 1875 by GE Street, so I would guess these tiles date from then too.

St Andrew's has some fine floor tiles, a mixture of medieval and Victorian - the only difficulty is telling which is which. Its tiled floors are also wonderfully polished, as you can see here. I think these are almost certainly Victorian, again from Minton.
More floor tiles, but these are of a quite different style and may be the ones designed by Godwin in 1868. The border is based on the story-telling style of medieval manuscripts, or indeed the Bayeux tapestry.

De foto bestaat uit drie verticale elementen: het staal van de brievenbussen, de bakstenen en de glazen deur. De verticaliteit wordt in evenwicht gehouden door de brievenbussen en de bakstenen, deze horizontale beweging wordt afgesloten door de verticale deur rechts. Achter deze deur, waarvan ik de klink expres deels heb weggelaten, zit diepte: de gang met een vierkant patroon van vloertegels.
Verder zijn er sociale patronen aanwezig: krassen op het staal, waarschijnlijk van fietsen die er tegenaan worden gezet, en anti-reclame stickers: 7 van de 8 huishoudens willen geen ongeadresseerde reclame. Per huishouden scheelt dat 33 kilo papier per jaar (bron: milieucentraal, 2018).
Achteraf had ik iets meer naar rechts moeten staan: ik vind de ruimte tussen de ganglamp en de muur krap.

The photo consists of three vertical elements: the steel of the mailboxes, the bricks en the glass door. The verticality is kept in balance by the horizontal mailboxes and the bricks, this horizontal movement is closed by the vertical door on the right. Behind this door is the depth of the photo: a hallway with a square pattern of floortiles. The handle of the door I omitted partially on purpose.
There are also some social patterns: scratches on the steel, probably from bicycles which were placed against the steel. Also some stickers which indicate that no commercial folders should be delivered: 7 out 8 households do not want spam. For each household that is that a saving of 33 kilo paper a year (source: milieucentraal, 2018).
In retrospect I should have taken this photo a little more to the right: the space between the lamp in the hallway and the wall to the left is tight.

With so many features high in the roof space as well as those at eye level, it's easy to forget to look down as well. All Saints has a good selection of floor tiles, made by Minton, I expect. These are the ones in front of the altar, along with the brass altar rail.
A page turned in the Palofax library in Centro Puebla. Many of the talavera tile inserts in the floor are originals rower restored (replaced with similar) by a World Monument Fund restoration of the library after the 1999 earthquake.
Everyone the same layout in this old hospital but all with there own character created by the decay from the elements. So loved the shinny ceilings.
Looking up again at these very tall lancet windows, you can just about see that the window on the other side is stained glass.
Minton floor tiles were almost standard issue in Victorian churches, sometimes supplemented by medieval ones. My understanding is that the chapel was built by Rowland Egerton-Warburton and consecrated in 1845. This central floor tile is dated 1813, however, and several look older – perhaps there was already a small chapel on the site along with the medieval house and cruck barn.
