Spittal beach in Northumberland has some wonderfully patterned rock formations which lend themselves nicely to a bit of abstract art
Very sadly many years ago my Great grandfather was washed up on these shores, after losing his life in the Eyemouth fishing disaster on October 14th 1881
It was known as Black Friday, the UK's worst ever fishing disaster.
189 men lost their lives, including my Great grandfather, his son, his brother and two of his wife's brothers. Eyemouth alone lost 129 menfolk and many of their families had watched on in vain, as the boats had tried desperately to return to harbour
They had put to sea that day as money was short and they needed to pay the tithe demanded by the Church of Scotland. Twenty six boats in total were engulfed by the storm that arose that day. A storm of extraordinary violence
There was an occasional miraculous story, when days later a boat limped into harbour, having beaten the storm but left those onboard traumatised
The Eyemouth museum has a tapestry, depicting the scene, with details of all those lost.

Did you ever had a chance to see the backside of a leaf of the beautiful Victoria Amazonica? Such an impressive pattern...
"I never accepted the idea, that I had to be guided by some pattern or blueprint."

An attempt to make a shot of the whole frontside of the staircase of the Academie voor Muziek, Woord en Dans (Academy for Music, Word and Dance) in Mortsel (Belgium), I had to hold my camera this way ;-)
In 'Blueprint' you can see the "normal" position ;-))

A ball with a fragile mirror and broken glass.
Keeping a simple abstract that caught my eyes down an alley. A garage door holding its own!
Amazing how nature and time create such beautiful lines and textures.
-- have a great weekend too!
