Istanbul, by sunset

I was very tempted to make a tile of Cappadocia, especially during their balloon festival. I was worried that it would look iconic and clearly Turkish. So, I\instead I looked around the Istanbul for some options; Hagia Sophia, Grand Bazaar, Basilica Cistern. I decided on a sunset view of the Blue Mosque. The final result is much more Turkish.

Salar de Uyuni, Bolivia

I remember a friend telling me about a beautiful lake with stunning reflections. (An interested conversation because they were Chinese and there is a similar place in China called Qinghai.) I found a good image of the lake, dried and showing the salt flats. With a lot of time and a limited color palette, the final tile is complete. Enjoy.

Angels Falls, Venezuela

This is the last tile I have made for a while. I gotta get back to making more.

Taipei 101, Taiwan

It's easy to find pictures of Taipei 101. But I decided to use skyline techniques from the Lesotho mountains. I used the sunset colors style like Zaragosa. I only needed a highlight color for the sunny side of the building to make it complete. Enjoy!
