I spend my holidays in South France and we visited Pont du Gard yesterday. It is the world greatest Aquäduct which has been built by the Romans about 2000 years ago. It was used as a water pipe to the city of Nimes.
This bridge is a stunning building! It goes over the river Gordon, where you can rent a canoe and explore the bridge from the waterside. As the temperatures are rather high this week (30°C) this 8km canoe tour was fun, indeed!
I think it is a good occasion to show you the beauty of Pont du Gard in the Diva Challenge:
I created two tiles, one tangled in black and one coloured
And here you see a photo of our canoe tour:
During the last days I drew the tiles for Annettes beautiful Mosaic Project, where anybody can take part until May, 31st. This time Annette has created a lovely string which should bee coloured in Green as a symbol of Springtime in May.
These are my contributions to Mosaic Project #8. I am looking forward to seeing the final Mosaic, which Annette will publish in June..
Both of your tiles are stunning.
ReplyDeleteOh, my, that bridge tile is gorgeous. It fits together seamlessly!
ReplyDeleteThat first aqueduct tile is my fav. It looks as if it HAS to be like that in the real world. Amazing, this is still standing. An A for the tile and an A for combining visible old history with Zen.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful!
ReplyDeleteEine wirklich raffinierte Umsetzung des Themas mit tollen Effekten! Viele Grüße aus Würzburg, Margarete
ReplyDeleteLove them - they are truly beautiful the both of them! 😍😍
ReplyDeleteThank you for showing us the bridge through tangling! I love both your tiles. The tangles you chose compliment the bridge structure perfectly! Your mosaic tiles are fabulous!
ReplyDeleteGorgeous tiles!
ReplyDeleteGorgeous tiles! I love them both but especially the colored one. I've been to Pont du Gard many years ago😉
ReplyDeleteGreat bridge and the Tangles are done so well!
ReplyDeleteThe Pont du Gard could be a tangle, couldn't it! These are brilliant!
ReplyDeleteDie erste Kachel ist einfach großartig, alles passt perfekt zusammen - die gewählten Tangles, der Schwung, alles absolut stimmig!
