"Kilburn White Horse – 318 ft long"
Moving away from Wiltshire to North Yorkshire, the Kilburn White Horse is said to be Britain’s largest in surface area and the most northerly in England. It was as created in 1857.

There’s something down there: Kilburn White Horse from the air.

Even with a hill figure this recent, there are differing accounts about its origins: some claim it was created by school master John Hodgson and his pupils alongside local volunteers; others give Uffington White Horse-inspired businessman Thomas Taylor credit as the main mover and director of the men who cut the figure and whitened the rock. The steep and unstable surface makes the horse hard to maintain. LINK

Mural Mosaic: Fantastic Mural Created From Hundreds of Original Paintings

Mural Mosaic is a project at the Town of Cochrane, Canada, where hundreds of original paintings by artists are combined into a giant mural.

The idea for the project came from artist Lewis Lavoie, who created the first Mural Mosaic by assembling scores of his own personal paintings into the face of Michelangelo’s David (previously on Neatorama here). Since then, he has created the master image and designate panels to individual artists (with some color and shape guidelines - but the artists are free to create as they desire).

This one above is their latest, "Le Cadeau du Cheval / The Horse Gift" (2008), which is composed of individual paintings of famous horses.
