This looks like another fun challenge to join. It’s called Friendly Friday. The subject this week is: Bricks and Tiles.
I always like to see what everyone else comes up with. I enjoy taking photos of just about everything, so I’ll usually have something to add that fits the scenario. Here’s one to start with.
This was one of a collection of fantastic tile work at the Istanbul Mosaic Museum. The mosaics were found buried underneath the ground during construction. The mosaics date from Roman times. Most of them are in very good shape- still clear and colorful.
The museum is right next door to the Arasta Bazaar and the Blue Mosque. It’s well worth a detour when you’re tired of the bazaar. I spent a couple of hours there, but I really enjoy both art and history.
Welcome to Friendly Friday photo challenge! 🙂 I’m so glad that it intrigued you to join. Next week it’s Amanda’s turn to host at https://forestwoodfolkart.wordpress.com/. I haven’t been to Istanbul yet and would be very interested in these mosaics. Thank you for your contribution!
Thank you Manga Mexi,
I’ll try to get in on it next week if I can remember.
I think you would enjoy Istanbul, there is a lot of beautiful tile work all over the city.
Oh, I’m sure I would enjoy it. Thanks for calling me Manga, haven’t been called this yet. 😉 This Friday it’s Amanda’s turn to host at https://forestwoodfolkart.wordpress.com/. Hope you remember!
Sounds like a cute name 🙂
I’ll check in tomorrow/tonight (it’ll be Friday in just another hour)
I haven’t visited it when I was in Istanbul #friendlyfriday
