It's the Day of Selene / Luna's Day / #Monday!
"Luna (the Moon) herself has ordained various days in various grades as lucky for work. Shun the fifth: then pale Orcus [Oath] and the Eumenides [Erinyes, Furies] were born."
Virgil, Georgics 1.276

The legend Carol Burnett knows a thing or two about life.
“It's also selfish because it makes you feel good when you help others. I've been helped by acts of kindness from strangers. That's why we're here, after all, to help others.”
Love these little mosaic flowers in the arboretum of the Glasgow BotanIc Gardrens. They were created as part of a series by Wilma van der Meyden.
Ememem Playfully Revitalizes Cracked Pavement With Vibrantly Patterned Tiles via Colossal [Shared]
No crack in a wall, step, or curb is safe from Ememem’s delightful interventions. The Lyon-based artist (previously), also known as “the pavement surgeon,” continues to scout out gaps in sidewalks that he fills with colorful tiles. Akin to kintsugi, the Japanese practice of repairing broken pottery with gold to embrace the history of the object, Ememem’s technique doesn’t hide imperfections so much as highlight their possibilities. While making the surfaces safer to traverse, he adds gives new life to decaying urban walkways.
Scholars have been diligently preserving the "Mosaico di Orione" (Orion Mosaic), dating from late 2nd to early 1st Century BC, found within the "House of Orion" in #Pompeii.
This extraordinary #mosaic, which depicts the myth of Orion's transformation into a constellation, remains in its original location, making it a rare & valuable piece of ancient art.
The "House of Orion" is remarkably well-preserved offering a unique glimpse into ancient Roman life

Love the mosaics lining the corridor leading up to the boardroom of the former Clyde Navigation Trust building on Robertson Street in Glasgow.
It became part of the Clyde Port Authority (the name surrounding the compass rose) in 1966, which was created through a merger of Clyde Navigation trust, the Greenock Harbour Trust and the Clyde Lighthouses Trust.
Love this compass rose mosaic at the entrance to the Clyde Navigation Trust building on Robertson Street in Glasgow. The Clyde Navigation Trust was created in 1858 to managed all aspects of the port of Glasgow, including ensuring the Clyde remained navigable.
