While folding, it is always a surprise to see unexpected patterns that emerge.

Happy Thursday ;-))

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.

Avec de l'imagination, mes petites lamelles de papier m'ont aidé à construire un monde coloré à la texture tout en douceur qui devrait aider à la recherche d'une vie plus harmonieuse. #Macro #MacroMondays #UnusualPatterns

Unusual Patterns

For The Macro Mondays theme : "Unusual Patterns"

A ball with a fragile mirror and broken glass.

"I never accepted the idea, that I had to be guided by some pattern or blueprint."

Quote - Little Richard

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 ;-))

All crossings are equal, but some crossings are more equal than others. As seen on a walk in London.
