What a beautiful building! The colors are amazing and it gives such character to that school. Really special.

Very cool building.

By the way, MY WIFE is in Brooklyn for the next couple of days, so if you see someone during your travels that looks like MY WIFE? It might be her :-)

Very interesting. And artsy. Thanks also for the link! Do you know anyone who lives there?

Mojo said...

Sweet capture! I love mosaic work partly because I'd never have the patience to do it, but mostly because you can stare at it for hours and it always gives you something new to look at.

TexasRed said...

I love those pattens and colors -- and just the sort of thing I'd walk past and not notice. Thanks for the close-up!

Linnea W said...

Really interesting contrasts.

Louise said...

Beautiful. I think I might not mind living there for a while. I'm SURE I could afford it! (So just kidding!)
