Somewhere on the Iberian Peninsula.
Glazed and fired clay tile work is seen throughout Portugal and Spain. This art well records the millennial march of cultures.
The marble bench speaks to the availability and common use of local marble in the finer aspects of architecture over millennia.
This picture was taken during our meander along the streets of the Costa Nova area of Aveiro, Portugal. Seen here are homes with tile making up their faces to the street.
This darling little tile is part of the tiled bench that runs along the fireplace wall. It's only maybe three inches long. I love the pattern in it.
Today the We're Here! gang is visiting the OBLONG group!
Tiles at the Porto Cruise Terminal. They are all equal; the texture comes comes only from the way how they are placed.
The tiles arrived safely and here it is updated... I chose this colour to match the original plate colour... it looks very bright but it's alright I guess... :D
Another bit of tread fun, this time with the rubber ones from the Granite Grinder. 1x2 tiles fit perfectly over the raised portions. It can still roll freely, and the tiles remain in place. They also give it rigidity if you try to bend the ring inward.
I've actually had this sitting around since before I got any power miners, but now I have tons of these treads, so I may have to do something with it.

The old Police Married Quarters (PMQ) has been transformed into a design and creative hub. It’s got lots of quirky little shops like this one which sells Mahjong tiles with cats as flower tiles.
Carter, working in Poole, were the driving force in tile design in the 1950's to 1970's in the UK, these are dated 1956(?) and 1966. Not to be reproduced without permission.
I found these two headstones interesting as it's not often I see tile work incorporated into the memorials.
It boggles the mind. Since 311 BC, Rome has had water delivered via aqueduct from distant sources to supply its inhabitants. It was shared with Ostia Antica, a port city west of Rome at the mouth of the Tiber river. Ostia Antica was a thriving community as early as the second century BC but especially from the 3rd through the 5th century AD losing its importance with the fall of the Roman Empire. It was flooded by the Tiber river in the 16th century and what you see in this photo was completely buried under sediment. The walls of this bath would have been at least two stories higher with hot baths, warm and cold baths. Pictured here is one of the many tiled baths of Neptune that Ostia Antica enjoyed dating back to 138 BC.
