The main idea of such gardens is to collect and display beautiful natural landscapes in a confined space.
New York City Scholar's Garden is one of two authentic classic Chinese outdoor gardens built in the United States.
On the Snug Harbor Botanical Garden premises, a classic Chinese outdoor garden appeared, made in the style of the gardens of the Ming dynasty, which ruled in China in the XIV-XVII centuries.
This garden's architectural components were made and imported from Suzhou, China, including roof tiles, columns, beams, doors and windows, bridges, and floor and walkway paving materials.
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.

It wasn't until I got up close I realised how intricate the tile work encasing the Opera House is. There are several different patterns used each reflecting light differently.

Macro Mondays - theme: Tile
The façade of the apartment building we live in is listed, but unfortunately there are no pretty decorative tiles in either the entrance / stairwell or our flat.
So I braved the heat and made a stroll through the neighbourhood, looking for ornamented tiles in the entrances of the houses. Those tiles are most likely made by the long-standing, now closed-down Majolica Porcelain Manufactory of my hometown.
You see a part of such decorative tiles (showing a white bloom, maybe a lily, with blue leaves) with the characteristic vibrant colours of the manufactory; especially the famous blue
(I put an image - not the same house - with decorative tiles in the first comment)
Happy Macro Monday, everyone
Largo da Sé is a charming square lined with orange trees […] and dominated by the city’s impressive cathedral plus a cluster of palatial buildings, including the Bishop’s Palace.
Built on the site of an old mosque following the Reconquest in 1251, Faro’s magnificent Sé Cathedral is blessed with a bold, basilica-like interior particularly notable for its 18th-century Baroque organ and wide nave flanked by exquisite azulejo tiles. Visitors who ascend the bell tower are rewarded with the most breathtaking views of the city’s old quarter, nearby wetlands and far beyond. Google
HAPPY TUESDAY'S TEXTURES !!

I always miss summer, so I made this composite, imagining I was a little ladybug enjoying the sun. 🐞Lately, I have been loving black backgrounds, but I just needed an interjection of COLOR. It is so white, grey and brown right now! Plus, we are losing a beautiful tree tomorrow. 😢 It is diseased and we need to take it out before birds start nesting in it this spring. I am so sad!
"The Asia House is a typical example of the transition from historicism to art nouveau, with its Neo-Renaissance columns, which bear the floors, and in particular the beautiful staircases, wall tiles and floor coverings."
