#438892 - Sun Sep 07 2008 02:46 AM This week's theme is 'Symmetry or patterns'
tellywellies Forum Champion Registered: Sat Apr 13 2002 Posts: 5473 Loc: South of England	'Symmetry or patterns' is a suggestion by djsgal. I won't be around to start next Sunday's theme. Sue may be able to do it but that's not certain. If a new theme can't be started, this one will be left open for two weeks. Just something further. I know I haven't post too much myself lately but anyway, thanks to everyone for making the photo threads a success. Great photos of many parts of the World and the things in it! Back soon.

The first is an imprecise sense of harmonious or aesthetically-pleasing proportionality and balance; such that it reflects beauty or perfection. The second meaning is a precise and well-defined concept of balance or "patterned self-similarity" ..." -Wikipedia Bridge crossing Swy-A-Lana Lagoon at Maffeo Sutton Park on the Inner Harbour at dawn; downtown Nanaimo - September 2008. _________________________ "a kind deed is useless, unless it is done with love."

Kapuskasing Forum Adept Registered: Mon Jul 02 2007 Posts: 189 Loc: Pennsylvania USA	Lots of interesting photos this week! The Nansha police would probably put me away for saying this, but the building in the Elizabethan Garden reminds me (okay, vaguely) of an old Howard Johnson's restaurant. ___________________________ This is a mid 1700s addition onto the house where Daniel Boone was born in 1734.

martin_cube Multiloquent Registered: Mon Sep 18 2006 Posts: 2534 Loc: Bristol England UK	This was taken in Berlin earlier this year. It's the roof of the Sony Centre in the Potsdamer Platz, taken at night. It's a truly impresive sight & my photo doesn't do it justice. (I hope I've managed to get the photo to be the right size. Apologies if I've made it too big again. I do try, you know. Everyone tells me how trying I am.) _________________________ Don't Dream It, Be It!
