Patterns

Well, it is December and Christmas will be upon us soon, so I thought I would ignore it completely and show you some patterns I found while out emptying the dog.

 

And a few which are less rigid and geometric, more natural, although I have to say nothing on this page is completely natural, all a product of man in some way or another.

For example, this is held up by a barbed wire fence forming a sort of curtain of dead plant. I'm not sure what it is called but Sadie collects the seeds and I have to spend an hour removing them when we get home.

 

 Of course, plants have their own patterns. A theme I will return to one day.

These photos of farm fileds all have perspective. The field in the first two is the location of an old Roman bath house that was excavated in the 1930s. Pieces of roof tile can still be found here.

Now we are getting quite abstract, sunlight on a mass of branches and twigs that only a couple of weeks ago were covered in leaves

And finally - is this a pattern, I think so. It is probably the most natural of all the pictures but the woodland will have been planted and managed by man, or men, or men and women. Well, you know what I mean!
