Isfahan Blue

Blue is one of my favorite colors. Blue pigment used to made from lapis lazuli, which comes from Afganistan and Persia. In Isfahan, Iran today there is a mosque that was originally built in 771 and was continually reconstructed and added to until the end of the last century. The mosque has the most amazing combination of blue tiles and mosaics in a wide range of beautiful blues.
