not a brilliant photo, but this is a Chiltern Gentian (Gentianella germanica), from the chalk Chiltern Hills, UK

Denner Hill stone- Sarsen stone from the Chiltern hills, excavated for building stone in the 19th century. Perhaps there was another Stonehenge up there once...

If you look closely you can see this lady also has a similar stylus and a wax tablet... fresco of Terentius Neo and wife from Pompeii, in the Naples Museum.

His Louis Vuitton Centre in Paris... a poor photograph, which I mostly took to show the size of the queue we were in ...

That one is in the Musee D'Orsay in Paris...
This one was in London's Courtauld Gallery, but I think it was on loan from a Swiss collection.

Micro mosaic, Naples museum... but strangely you can find the same design in Rome's Palazzo Massimo museum!

There was an exhibition in the Paris Picasso museum in May about the degenerate art and the nazi sale of it...

took this photo there... if you replace 'Germany' in the caption with another nation

I can't find a tag for ceramic tiles, but I think there should be more pictures of them here...

Examples at the Tile Museum near Ironbridge

Reminds me of this floor/installation from a Naples art gallery!

Banksy, Battle of the Beanfield. (Moco, London)

Special to me as my brother was one of the New Age Travellers at the Beanfield.

Then here's its companion, the river still frozen.

I love Picasso owls - 2 more, in ceramics.

It's the street which runs to the left of this church into the old town square, looking back at the church! Doesn't look much different today.

Very much reminds me of this picture by Monet!
