      Soft curves, square tiles and cement pillars – perfect patterns.

        Thank you and thanks for the prompt. I drive by this community center nearly every day and this was the first time I actually ‘saw’ these parts/details of it!

        Thanks. It was fun to see them all in one place. One of the things I love about photography challenges is how I actually start ‘seeing’ things, relationships between objects, in my everyday environment that might otherwise elude me.

          That is quite true. Given a new frame of reference in a challenge, it does encourage us to look more closely at things. And that in turn improves one’s skill with a camera, I think.

      I saw that first photo and knew exactly where you were. We lived in San Ramon for many years. Great photos.

      Love the patterns around the boulders. Very unique. I spotted the playground in the background. A photo opportunity from another post, I presume. 🙂

        Thanks, I’m glad you liked the patterns around the boulders. I was captivated with the contrast between the boulders, meandering drain and square tiles. Curious what it would look like in black & white. In the past I have found inspiration in the playground and the kids running around. A place to keep returning to. Always something new to see… a new angle or perspective. Thanks for the reminder.
