Happy Thursday ;-))

Thanks for visiting and take deep breaths over the holidays, they can be stressful! Stay blessed:)

Unusual Patterns

For The Macro Mondays theme : "Unusual Patterns"

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!

Just some patterns

Svínafellsjökull glacier, Iceland

clay tiled roofs, textures, patterns and colors

Playing in the mud, water, and salt at Sunset is a favorite pastime for me. This was shot with my wide-angle to capture more of the scene and less emphasis on the mountains

The Great Salt Lake - GPS is not the exact spot of the shot.

No comments today – just enjoy :-)

Theme - Natural Patterns

Low hanging sunlight grazes furrowed sand along an outlet feeding Lake Michigan

The rolling fields in south east Washington can produce striking patterns

Water running to the sea carves patterns in the sand at Seilebost beach

Besides "classic" landscape photography, I am drawn to details in the landscape. Sand patterns and their interaction with water are a world of their own that I never tire of photographing.

Seilebost, isle of Harris, Outer Hebrides

Thanks for your comments, awards and faves. They are much appreciated.

The platform indicator does a great job of describing both service and operator as BREL-built class 320, unit 320416, draws in to Paisley Gilmour Street station with a train to Gourock. If splitting hairs though the use of the past tense is questionable.

The Victorian architecture here is fabulous which the bright sunny day showing it off perfectly, even if there was a bit of a bracing wind coming off the coast.

For the record, the train is Scotrail's 2.25pm ex-Glasgow Central (1G49).

A shot taken almost two years ago to the day. How times have changed in the meantime.

Monzogranite Rock is formed when molten liquid, heated by the continuous movement of Earth's crust, seeps upward and cools while still below the surface. This plutonic intrusion yields a granitic rock called monzogranite. Monzogranite is often distinguished by rectangular joints.

The edge of the stream had so many frozen patterns, and so much variety, making me a happy photographer. Lots of photos to work on!
