3: Lines and patterns

I took a walk along a gorge and a waterfall last weekend, and it was just gorgeous! And also full of interesting water-cut rocks; a lot of the landscape around here is shale, which is layered and fractures along layers and faults to make really neat lines and patterns. Here's a shot of some rough water and the lines in the rock:



I always think that the stone looks so neat and tidy, like layercake or a stack of papers or something.

(no subject)

Cake batter, shot in closeup. It is sort of mauve-coloured.

In honour of Three Weeks for Dreamwidth, I decided to make red velvet cupcakes. The batter intrigued me from a patternly perspective.

The final product! )

growth and lines

We finally got a little bit of sun yesterday, so I went to the lake. For growth, plants in the crevices of a stone retaining wall:

Lines & Patterns

I'm not sure entirely why, but this Aperture topic was a challenge for me! In the end, I took 2 photos that I am okay with. (Click through for bigger sizes!)

2: Patterns

the rusty blades of a lawnmower

I walked by this rusty lawnmower sitting on someone's lawn a few days back, and thought the blades looked neat in the sun.

Lines and Patterns: My Third Post

This challenge continues to be challenging for me--I seem to censor myself, or my eye, or something. But I did spot this the other day.

Lines and patterns

Taken at one of my favorite places in the world, a local tea house.

Patterns, again

It could be fields of violet and other herbs, but I'm in zone 4 and that's not happening yet.

desert ginger fields

No, instead it's a placemat. There's a gratifying randomness when setting up a shot like this, wondering where the autofocus is going to sharpen.

ten.patterns

Shadows from a French door, cast along manky grey carpet. A bright red throw rug can be seen at the bottom of the image.

I'm getting a lot of mileage out of the doorindow (it's a door, but it doesn't open, so it's a window, geddit?) in the bedroom.

Pattern or chaos?

We'd a rare glimps of sun when I was outside earlier today. I love the way the raindrops glitter in the sun.

patterns!

Namur subway station in Montreal has hexagons hanging from the ceiling. I took this from a moving escalator while trying to catch a train, so I was a little hurried and didn't have time to get the composition exactly the way I wanted to, but it was so perfect for the comm I couldn't miss it.

hexagon closeup!

2 more under cut; 1 more hexagon, 1 of wood. )

Pattern

I've just put new fabric on the old teak chair I use as a desk chair at home. It's a vintage skirt I bought ages ago.

eight.patterns

A jar of split peas, with the reflection of the camera at the bottom of the jar.

More things in glass jars! With a guest appearance by...my camera. The light is weird today, and the best shots all had reflections, so, eh, I'm gonna claim it was arty and intentional. Or something. I'm tired.

Growth and patterns

I keep forgetting to upload my photos to the computer so these are from Satuday and Sunday. The first two are of newly unfurled leaves...
