Update 06/09/09: I have changed the format of this mosaic with Robert Stockton in the center.
This is my first entry to this meme: Mosaic Monday. I was invited by Mary of Little Red House, when I visited Daryl’s blog of Out & About in New York. I did not have any clue, so here is my own contribution.
This is the mosaic tile that can be found at the Universal City, CA train station. Since it is hard to take photographs of the whole slab of tiles, I had cropped the photos and uploaded them on Big Huge Labs per Mary’s suggestion. I will do better next time.
The picture on the upper right hand is of Commodore Robert F. Stockton. He served as a naval commodore in the Gulf of Mexico and off the coast of California during the Mexican War (1846-48) and became commander of the Pacific fleet in 1846. His highhanded manner led to conflict with Californians who were resisting annexation by the United States.
For more Mosaic Monday participants, please visit Mary at the Little Red House.
