Photographer's Note
A detail of the 15-ton rose-shaped fountain, covered in a mosaic of blue and white Delftware and designed by Gehry in honor of Lillian Disney, who funded construction of Disney Hall and died before the project was completed.
Delft pottery, denotes blue and white pottery made in and around Delft in the Netherlands and the tin-glazed pottery made in the Netherlands from the sixteenth to the eighteenth centuries.
Delftware in the latter sense is a type of pottery in which a white glaze is applied, usually decorated with metal oxides. Delftware includes pottery objects of all descriptions such as plates, ornaments and tiles.

Great textures in this photo. I love mosaic tile and all the ways in which it is incorporaterd into other architectural features. I posted to a workshop to try to bring out the color a bit more. The contrast between light and dark is great here, though. I've been playing with frames, so I hope the workshop is successful.
