more balcony

Thanks to the response to my latest balcony pictures. As some readers wanted more, I am posting a view from the seaside, that shows the balcony (with two tiny persons) and the roof terrace. And some pics are from above. It is difficult to take pictures of the whole balcony all in one as my small camera is broken and the Canon has a zoom. So the last two pics are a view to the left and to the right.

Balcony : stunning !

Stunning is the view and stunning are the tiles !


It was our biggest worry that we had made the wrong decision with these blue tiles. They were not cheap and I thought they might draw off too much attention from the spectacular view.

But look at the result !

I am so impressed myself - the pictures are stunning (maybe more than reality).

The blue tiles underline the impression of floating between sea and sky !!


Of course the different position of the sun let the tiles reflect their blue color differently. In direct sunlight it might appear a bit kitschy - but I am calling it "Amalfi style".



And here are some "before" photos, when I tried to picture with one single sample tile the effect of light and reflection :







Shopping source: these waterblue tiles are from Fornaci d'Agostino from the Emozioni serie

And the finish is diagonal, which suits a rectangular balcony shape best:


Next time I will present our roof terrace. Very "Amalfi"...
