Mosaics

I really like mosaics.  While combing through all the photos today I noticed that I had a lot of photos of mosaics, so I thought I'd group (some of) them together in one blog post.
 This bell was part of an intricate mosaic in a kind of water canal thing in the Botanical Gardens of Athens.
 Close up of a mosaic in the Vatican Museum.
A horsie in the Vatican Museum.
This reminds me of those framed prints you find at Garden Ridge or the like, except it is much cooler.
If it involves a peacock, I have to take a picture of it.
Ross's finger is in the photo here to give it some scale.  The pieces were tiny.
