Some TILE Trivia & Many Mural Thanks

I thought the members of the Capture This group might find this bit of tile trivia interesting because of last week's theme of "Mosaic"

The largest glass tile mosaic mural in North America is the 4300 square foot entryway to the Hong Kong based Wing Lung Bank in Alhambra, California (near Los Angeles).

The image was inspired by the San Gabriel Mountains of southern California.

The installation won the 2007 Spectrum Awards (the topindustry award for excellence in tile design and implementation) for the firm -Becoming Tile - and took about 2 months to install after the design was approved and the some 600,000 tiles were created.

I also want thank all the Capture This members that posted such nice comments about the Aborigine mosaic! I just snapped the photo, the artist and crafts-people that created the walkway mural deserve the real credit, I am so glad that you all enjoyed the picture! Thanks!!!
