Mosaics on wall of the Zisa, a palace in Palermo, Sicily, Italy. The palace was built for the Norman kings by a Moorish craftsman (1165 to 1189). This was completed in the year Richard I became king of England. My photos from 2015. #MosaicMonday #travel #history

Chania is a beautiful town. I have fond memories of eating dinner around the harbour. My photo from 2011 of the harbour at night.
