Repeating myself a bit but a new one from early this morning, beats watching late night telly anyway.
Something other than my usual seascapes! Yet another grey and drizzly day so here is one from the archives taken on a grey and drizzly day! HBW
The sand has washed away leaving the large heavy stones backed up against the remains of revetments which form an interesting repeating pattern.
On the beach a few days ago.
Sometimes I've got the very strong feeling that I could spend all of my holidays just taking pictures from this balcony during sunrise :o)
Going simple for this week's theme.
This is a transparent mesh document holder.
I placed my phone inside and took the shot.
Adjusted saturation, brightness and contrast using snapseed.
The Mapmaker’s Song
The mapmaker downed his tools.
I’ve caught it, every alley, every street,
every fanlight and window-ledge,
the city fixed and framed.
Now I want everything else.
I want to be a historian of footsteps,
a cartographer of hemlines and eyelids,
I want to catch what the pavements say
when they sing to each other
in their deep laboratories, plotting
every journey since the place began.
I want the whole
unlosable database, the repeating place,
kings stalking the server farms,
tailbacks and looped alarms,
I want to be where
brushstrokes flicker on a bank of screens,
where graveyards tilt
and quiet populations crowd the air,
their quarters risen again
their furniture
smashing through the floors.
I want to stand at the centre
of a great clutter
mapping ashes, mapping bones,
archivist, enumerator, hanger-on
signing the returns
of an infinite census.
I want to be,
beyond everything I’ve reached or drawn,
not much at all, or all there is,
a geographer of breath,
a curator of hands.
I want to lie in the atrium
of the museum of the fingertip
and touch, touch, touch.

Our Daily Challenge ~ Repeating
We have a large collection of washable marker pens that come out on a regular basis when the grandchildren are here.
Thank you to everyone who pauses long enough to look at my photo. Any comments or Faves are very much appreciated.
When you visit Thailand its impossible not to see images of the Buddha everywhere you travel . Not just in temples I remember a small supermarket in Bangkok with a statue of the Buddha at the entrance to the store . These repeating Buddha statues were in the Wat Yai Chai Mongkhon in Ayutthaya.
Ayutthaya was founded in 1350, it was the second capital of the Siamese Kingdom. It flourished from the 14th to the 18th centuries, during which time it grew to be one of the world’s largest and most cosmopolitan urban areas and a centre of global diplomacy and commerce. This particular Wat ( Temple ) was constructed by King U-thong in 1357 A.D.
THANKS FOR YOUR VISIT TO MY STREAM.
I WOULD BE VERY GRATEFUL IF YOU COULD NOT FAVE A PHOTO
WITHOUT ALSO LEAVING A COMMENT
A bright summer view of Salt Creek Beach in Dana Point, California, where small groups of beachgoers gather along the repeating surf line on a sunny Southern California afternoon.
Apologies for repeating myself, but when I updated my home page I suddenly felt that these two needed to be together. Not in the least because of how they reflect the ideas behind the design of this pavilion.
"For the Sonsbeek pavilion Van Eyck provided an elementary structure of six parallel walls made out of concrete blocks, which he manipulated into a surprisingly rich and labyrinthine interior by inserting semicircular niches and apses into the rectilinear structure. Van Eyck described the result as an urban space intentionally conceived in opposition to the natural idyll of the nineteenth-century park, which followed the formal language of the English landscape garden.
The scenography aimed to create the experience of an almost spontaneous encounter with the artworks on display. This was not only communicated through the spatial typology of streets, alleys and small piazzas, but it was also crucially achieved by a relatively high density of artworks gathered together in the narrow spaces which forced one to walk by the sculptures in close proximity."
