This week’s Photo Challenge is From Lines to Patterns.
In response to this challenge, I’ve already posted some of the urban lines and patterns of NYC. Here are three photos of more natural lines and patterns. I’ve selected these three because they show, it seems to me, not merely lines and patterns, but how the lines become a pattern…

He was originally from (the former) Czechoslovakia and lived in the U.K. and California before settling down in New York. He was a neuroscientist at the Mount Sinai School of Medicine in New York City. He died in 2016.

Fantastic!.. And funny: I’ve been a little bit distracted as your picture appeared on my screen, so i’ve first wondered what a strange purple menorah before I notice it is red cabbage. *facepalm* :)

The last one is intriguing: I can wonder if there’s a painting on a wood plate or are they some layers?

Enjoying your and Johna’s creative energy has become a very comfortable escape when I am spending time in front of a screen instead of ” just doing it”. A sincere thanks for all the work it takes to share it here. You two must be time management geniuses! Not to mention the obvious.
Thanks,
George
