Peeling Paint Patterns
HAPPY TUESDAY'S TEXTURES !!
Paint sometimes peels in interestingly textured patterns. This is a closeup view of part of an old window shutter on an old house. The metal device at the bottom left is holding the shutter closed. Use of it has also scraped a pattern in the paint.
Thoughts about peeling paint patterns:
The properties of the paint used, the type of underlying wood, the weather (snow, rain, humid air, dry air, sun, winter cold, summer heat) and time often causes paint to peel and crack. Here, the cracks are mostly vertical and less often horizontal. The result is a textured pattern composed mostly of little vertical rectangles. It's another of the visual world's mini-mysteries, just waiting to be photographed.š
Location: A street full of small, old, two or three story buildings, Mulhouse, Alsace FR.
In my album: Dan's Patterns: Wood.
