We tend to think of visual patterns as bright or beautiful or meaningful things–a classic argyle, the tangle of a Celtic knot, my own beloved paisley–but all a pattern is, is a repetition. We find patterns everywhere (and sometimes we find them too often), whether it’s in music or behavior or…everything. Water. Seismic waves. Bad luck. And sometimes, we find strangely compelling patterns in the support structure of a train bridge spanning the Susquehanna River, at the Shikellamy Marina.
Sometimes, just looking up reveals beauty in the most unexpected places.

So true – look up, look down – open your eyes! An unexpected place and an unexpected pattern – thank you for joining the challenge!

I’ve often thought the patterns on the underside of bridges are eye-catching. Excellent choice for the week!

Many years ago a blueish paisley shirt was my favourite. Paisley certainly make interesting patterns, that und the underside of bridges!

Beautiful, rich rusty textures! With the snow around, it’s like a mix of fire and ice. Wonderful.
