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
Details of the Victorian wall tiles in the art gallery café, on the Headrow in Leeds
This magnificent Victorian Tiled Hall was opened in 1884 and was initially Leeds Central Library reading room. From 1888-1941 it functioned as the sculpture court for Leeds Art Gallery next door.
During 1955-2007 it became part of the Library. However, all the tiles hid behind wooden panels and bookcases.
Renovations in 2007 revealed the original fabric of the room, and the space became a now-iconic café.
Black and white was photography brings out the detailed relief on these tiles using natural light.

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.

Shooting texture and shapes, got 'em both in one shot.

TRUTH
We all have our own truth
Credos that we abide by
It stops us falling into murky waters
Getting lost by the wayside
It can be difficult staying on the path
I wish I had Dante and Virgil at my side
Instead I rely on your light to guide me
Love like a burning flame inside
I knew it would not be easy
I have my own steep hills to climb
But I would do it all again if you asked me
At least I can say I have tried
This flame may die down into embers
Ready to ignite at your word
Such love can never be extinguished
Like a heart that never really dies
Can I still find my way through the forest
Navigate my way past the lies
See the truth of you in front of me
Answering all the tears that I have cried
I have been taking a little break from Flickr after my last upload of images. So consequently I am a bit behind with my usual thank you’s. So I thought I would place this up here in the meantime for you to thank you all for your support. Those of you who have got to know me and my work know how much these pieces mean to me, and the journey that led me to create them and share them here. Each poem is deeply felt and a reality to me, and can be emotionally challenging to write. I am learning that not only do I need time to create them, I also need time to rest in between them. Thank you again for all your kind words, faves and views. I would have found it difficult to keep going without you.
This image is the view towards the Altar beneath the East Window of Ripe Church, Sussex, UK, which has medieval fragments of the original stained glass set within the clear gothic window.

Just to liven things up a bit , another very old track , this week from LZ3 ---
The interior designer Caroline tries to assemble a nonrepeating pattern discovered by the David Smith from Yorkshire. The shape is supposed to be a in a nonrepeating pattern a so called “einstein” or “one stone. Usually wallpaper or tiled floor are part of an infinite pattern that repeats periodically. An aperiodic tiling displays no such “translational symmetry,” and mathematicians have long sought a single shape that could tile the plane in such a fashion. This is known as the einstein problem.
Architectural patterns In Roombeek, Enschede, build after a display of fireworks exploded and destroyed the neighborhood. This was the biggest explosion in the Netherlands after WO-II. The outside of the building (an energy-plant) is tiled with ceramic tiles. These tiles are 1 * 1m and designed in 'Delfts blauw'.
