Life is full of them, don’t you think? Patterns of behaviour and visual patterns. Dramatic pause to count the patterns in the shot above. Jude has a new photographic challenge this year, all about improving your photography. The lady has lots of tips and some wonderful examples, so get yourself over there and admire. But have a quick peak at my gallery first.

Our art teacher always said “Life is full of math.” Some great shots, Jo.

There’s a lovely lady artist I follow on here who was just giving composition hints on her site, and I was amazed at how mathematical they were. I totally am not! 🙂 🙂 Thanks a lot, darlin!

Patterns in nature are the best, as they ever change. Makes it interesting! I recently took a cool photo of a chain link fence as well. One day, I’d love to join these photo challenges. Whenever – if ever – I’m retired. 🙂

I sometimes find them restrictive, Liesbet. I’m an awkward-headed woman who likes to write about what I want to write about, and often the challenges take me in a direction I don’t want to go. This kind, where you’re simply examining your world and observing, are great because you can take them anywhere you want. 🙂 🙂

Wow! 😀 Superb photos, Jo and I like how they have us looking at the world anew! Images of chains on the quay etc are always evocative, I feel … Hope you’re having a lovely week! 😀

A busy one, Annika… what’s new? Croquet today in the sunshine and a meal with friends and a bit of music this evening. 🙂 🙂 Glad you liked the photos! Catch up at yours later.
