Mosaic - Sara's rose

The ancient ruins in Libya are full of mosaics and they always fascinate me. I found a mosaic generator online that will create a mosaic using what ever picture you upload. The images used to create it are from Flickr. This is the result of one of the images I uploaded - if you click on the image you can see it larger and get a better idea of the details - actually the website gives you an even larger and more detailed image but Blogger resizes the images smaller to fit on the blog. - The actual file from the site was nearly 4 megabytes. I think I'm going to have it printed and hang it on the wall next to my desk.

Here's the link if you want to try it yourself: mosaic generator Posted by Picasa
