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

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

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!
