Backlit autumn leaves of Acer palmatum (‘Iroha-momiji’ in Japanese) against the light cloudy sky. They were forming a beautiful mosaic ceiling of nature.
Fungi of beechwood: Tripe fungi (Auricularia mesenterica) growing on a beech stump and covering almost entire surface of this low cut stump. Looking from the top they didn’t look like tripe at all. Instead, simple concentric zones, variable shapes and forms appeared as an abstracted mosaic. Tripe fungi belong to the group of jelly fungi. “Auricula” means ‘ear’ in Latin, whereas epithet “mesenterica” is derived from a Greek words “meso & “enteron” meaning 'middle intestine'. Hence the common name, Tripe. It refers to a characteristic wrinkled shape of the underside of these interesting fungi that could be barely seen in the top right corner as a daker reddish-purple under crust-like underside. Conversely to Jelly ears (Auricularia auricula-judae), these are completely indigestible. Lansdown, Bath, BANES, England, U.K.
I try to give ID where possible but often it is not an easy task in the world of fungi without special examination, and I am not a mycologist. So, if you feel that ID is not accurate, please do correct.
I folded my tessellation 'Mosaic' once more. This time I used slightly thicker paper, that was already colored (also made a bigger grid), and then you get this result.
Folded from a hexagon 42cm, Italian paper, grid 1:96".
This photo is taken by daylight. In the evening the colors change a bit, like you can see here, (took a macro image of a fold and the paper.)
In the first comment box the backlit and first version of "Mosaic", which is folded with different paper, that is suitable for backlighting.
If you are interested to see more, have a look at my tessellation album Origami - Tessellation Progression".

The Savior on Blood Church harks back to medieval Russian architecture in the spirit of romantic nationalism. It intentionally resembles the 17th-century Yaroslavl churches and the celebrated St. Basil's Cathedral in Moscow.[4]
The church contains over 7500 square meters of mosaics—according to its restorers, more than any other church in the world.The walls and ceilings inside the church are completely covered in intricately detailed mosaics — the main pictures being biblical scenes or figures — but with very fine patterned borders setting off each picture.
The interior was designed by some of the most celebrated Russian artists of the day—including Viktor Vasnetsov, Mikhail Nesterov and Mikhail Vrubel — chief architect, Alfred Alexandrovich Parland,
Fifth to sixth century mosaics around the cupola of the Rotunda, Thessaloniki. The Rotunda was built in 306 AD as a Roman mausoleum or a temple. It is the oldest (still standing) building in Thessaloniki. After "paganism" was outlawed at the end of the fourth century, the building was consecrated as a church and the mosaics fitted within the next one hundred years. The surviving fragments are impressive enough and one of only three comparable examples of early Byzantine mosaic art (the two others being Constantinople, the Agia Sofia in particular, and Ravenna). What fascinates me are the images of Hellenistic and Roman buildings on the wall. One of them has been identified as the Library of Ephesus. Martyr's or donors do stand in front of these buildings, but the image overall is urbane. Christianity is clearly seen as the religion of city dwellers. Interestingly, the original meaning of the Latin term "paganus" is a person from the countryside. The English language got quite close to this when applying the word "heathen" to non-Christians.

Embedded in a cool area beneath some trees, this mosaic is spattered with fallen flowers and leaves.
A new mosaic using stain glass and some ceramics applied to a wood board!(12 "x 8 ") I was inspired by my earlier watercolour posted titles Hillside. See the similarity? Sold.
Public art in Pasadena, California. Each child glazed and fired a ceramic tile to complete this colorful mosaic.

This large mosaic was located on a building near the Harbour in Reykjavik, Iceland. My Sister and I paid a brief visit to Iceland in February this year. It was a very cold time of the year, but we loved it!
The theme for Mosaic Montage Monday today is "Mobility". I decided to go and shoot some planes at the airport yesterday as my subject matter and I am always pleased when a couple of propeller powered planes fly in. Yesterday I chose to try and stop the props with a fast shutter speed and have combined two of the images taken with a third taken of the sky to create todays offering.
Happy Mosaic Montage Monday everyone!
