I usually just blow on past the shade ramadas at the parking lot of Sabino Canyon when I go for a hike. Last week I happened to walk under one of the ramadas and noticed for the first time a bunch of tile mosaics under the roof beams recognizing donors (portions of mosaics above). Looks like they are done in the Santa Theresa style -- lots of individually crafted small tiles set in grout. Nicely done. As usual, click on individual pictures for close look...
As usual, Warren, you found something quite amazing!
ReplyDeletegrannyj -- thanks, this was kind of an unusual place to find these... The snaps were taken holding my camera above my head to try to get straight-on shots.
ReplyDeleteWe never did get to do the Amerind Foundation. I am sure that both there and Texas Canyon would allow for more of this wonderful photography.
ReplyDeleteAmazing tile work-looks like a painting. Hard to see the grout. I would love to make this! What fun!
ReplyDeleteAnonymous -- yep, definitely need to visit both places when things settle down a bit.
ReplyDeletetree ocean -- It is a cool way of doing tile work, from a distance this style looks like it could be a single large tile and then when you get closer you can see the individual pieces set in grout.
