Backlit autumn leaves of Acer palmatum (‘Iroha-momiji’ in Japanese) against the light cloudy sky. They were forming a beautiful mosaic ceiling of nature.
Italy
We went to Italy in May 2015, stayed in the Cavour area of Rome. A fantastic holiday, the food was terrific, the people very helpful, brilliant architecture and sculpture. I was in my element. This is the third of three postings. But there will be more postings later, and we did go back.

"Mosaic" is the first transformation of my basic origami-tessellation: 'Blueprint', I want to show you.
Folded from a hexagon 33cm, 'Anett'-paper, grid 1:64".
If you are interested to see more, have a look at my tessellation album Origami - Tessellation Progression".

As you may have seen, despite of loving architecture I'm not good in photographing buildings, and I don't have the proper lens to do this well.
Here is a mosaic of details from Santiago, with special mention to this strange guardian that I saw in Cerro San Cristobal.
I'm wondering the utility of those spikes...
We were out shopping at Fameshed and I couldn't resist taking a quick pic of my beautiful friend, Katie. She's sassy, sweet, and beautiful both inside & out. ♥
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,
Here's a collage of butterflies & dragonflies & wildlife from waay back in the archives! Lots of new odes & butterflies coming soon.
It seems daunting that we aren't even halfway through the year however, I am working daily to learn something new and apply it. I feel like I need to find some direction for my project. It looks like May was full of flowers, hearts, pinks and blues. I experimented with light, processing and now I have a new lens to play with too.
Day two with sixth form students.
The detail had been prepared by Year 9 the previous day, leaving the background ceramic representing the sky, sea and beach to be completed.
The group also grouted , cleaned and finished the work.

Day 262 of my 366 Project
NGC 5139 (Omega Centauri) is a globular cluster in the Centaurus constellation, around 17000 light years from earth.
With an estimated 10 million individual stars making up the cluster and a mass around 10 times that of your typical globular, it’s the largest known globular cluster in our Milky Way galaxy. With those types of statistics, you’d expect earthlike planets (and potentially life?) to be abundant here. That’s probably highly unlikely though.
Stars in Omega Centauri are so densely packed that their gravitational interaction with one another would make it very difficult/unlikely for potential planets to maintain stable orbits and favourable conditions (extreme temperature fluctuations) long term.

Delighted to discover this mosaic of the castle and the history of the town installed in the station at Oakham, Rutland.
This exquisite work of art known as the Mosaic Angel by Debora Halpern in 1985 stands on the banks of the River Yarra and stands at an height of 10 meters. The sculpture with a Picasso style exterior originally was on show in the moat at the National Gallery of Victoria.

Tras un proporcionado arco de mocárabes aparece uno de los elementos más bellos y ponderados de los Palacios de la Alhambra: el mirador de Lindaraja, denominación adaptada al castellano de al-'Ayn Dar Aisa, los «ojos de la casa de Aisa», pues en época nazarí era una atalaya abierta al paisaje, ante la que se extendía un jardín bajo.
El umbral del arco de acceso posee los alicatados más agraciados de la Alhambra por su reducido tamaño y ejecución; sobre ellos, las tradicionales tacas se ven sustituidas por sendos arcos ciegos.
El paramento interior del mirador es un resumen perfecto del concepto proporcional en el diseño decorativo arquitectónico nazarí que ha llevado a algunos autores a considerarlo el exponente más claro de un posible «barroco nazarí».
Bajo un arco ciego de mocárabes se desarrolla toda una decoración en yesería policromada, básicamente epigráfica, que enmarca una ventana con doble arco y parteluz que al igual que las ventanas laterales, están situadas en puntos muy bajos para, sentados en el suelo, divisar el paisaje.
Una falsa cubierta con cristales de variados colores, verdadera joya documental, culmina la parte superior de la estancia, probablemente el espacio con un carácter más áulico del Palacio de los Leones.
