More Mosaics
I’m still thinking of Italy and Greece…. I found these photos of Hearst Castle, William Randolph Hearst’s breathtaking estate in San Simeon, CA. This place is so amazing - it sits on a hilltop right off the Pacific Coast Highway, and you can tell the inspiration was overwhelmingly ancient Greek and Roman, with a 1920’s twist. It’s like a dream straight out of The Great Gatsby. Can you imagine a cocktail party in the summer with a live 1920’s orchestra on the grounds? Swoon. I want to live there!
