Mosaic

St Marks Basilica in Venice has the most amazing floor.
Made up of coloured marble in the most beautiful amazing mosaic patterns.
Crafted in the 12th Centuary 800 years later we are still walking on them.
As I went round this stunning Basilica I noticed everyone was looking upwards when there was so much beauty beneath their feet.

Lydia is coming home this weekend, looking forward to seeing her so much.

Pretty patterns and tones.

This is beautiful. It makes you think about how they laid those stones and tiles so long ago. And they've more than lasted the passage of time.

[John Falconer]

Terrific. 800 years ago they would have imagined that you would have been taking photographs.
