Fishpond Mosaic designed by artist Gary Drostle

He's been doing mosaics like this for a while. (I followed up on the one in the top illustration some while ago, when I first ran into it online. I think I remember discovering that the town in Surrey where it originally appeared has removed it: no idea why.)

Oh I see. Sleep mask

but mostly i just think it's neat!

England got invaded in 1066 by people from continental europe. While the english peasants spoke then-english (Germanic family via anglo-saxon) the new nobility brought over from the continent spoke romance languages, derived from latin. As the nobility gave orders to their peasant staff, the nobility's latin-derived words for the animal took over for the form of the animal nobility saw, pre butchered food, while the Germanic derived words contracted to refer to the living animals. So pigs became separate from porcellus -> pork, and cows/cattle became separate from bovis -> boeuf -> beef, etc.
