Photo Essay: Patterns
Since it seems my last photo essay, Reflections, was a big hit, I thought we would continue with another theme this month: patterns. I chose these images because of their unique perspective on a particular minute detail; in some cases it’s clear what you’re looking at, but in others it isn’t. In all of them (except for one or two 
) you can’t really tell where the photo was taken.
It’s just a brief reminder when you’re on your travels to open your eyes. The old adage is true – look up, you’ll see more.
The controversial facade of the Scottish Parliament, Edinburgh, Scotland
Playing light experiments at Camera Obscura, Edinburgh Scotland
A close up of a silver fern in the Able Tasman National Park, New Zealand
Pebbles on a rocky shore in the Able Tasman National Park, New Zealand
Tables awaiting diners in Karlovy Vary, Czech Republic
Despite appearances, this is a window with a covering in Prague, Czech Republic
Tiles on the roof of a castle in Alsace, France
Gorgeous stained glass in Aachen, Germany
A fence on the grounds of Rosenborg Castle near Copenhagen, Denmark
A painted wooden bench in Interlaken, Switzerland
Tiles on a building across from the Horta Museum in Brussels, Belgium
Gorgeous roof tiles on a neighbouring canal house in Amsterdam, Netherlands
Stay Tuned – I’ve already picked out a fun theme for next month’s essay, very appropriate for summer.
