Patterns of endless repetition
Every now and then I turn my camera away from old buildings. It doesn’t happen often, and I apologize if this shot of some interesting leaves startled you. At least it’s not it color, though, because that would just be shocking.

Some kind of fern… they look like metal, or it is your treatment of the photo.

It is a fern. Maybe the reason it looks metallic is because of the b&w treatment – I think taking away the color robs it of context, which lets your brain interpret it in a lot of different ways.

Love the pattern. I hope I’m not being too heretical in wondering what it would look like in colour!

In color, it’s so green that your eyes will hurt.

A good place to scrape of a muddy pair of boots.

Yes. The cottages where we stayed had water in shallow stone basins on the porch so we could wash the sand off our feet before going inside, so we didn’t have to use the leaves…
