A relatively mild pattern in the carpet at a DC hotel.
Vaguely suggests square floor tiles,
but...
a kind of ominous repitition
of goats' heads.

Old Stone Portal
A stone portal
probably more than two hundred years old
near one of the adobes close to
Monterey, California's
Custom House Plaza.
Also close by:
Fisherman's Wharf,
Portola Plaza,
a business complex called Heritage Harbor.
A walk down the bicycle/recreational path
will take you to Cannery Row, the Monterey Bay Aquarium,
Lover's Point, San Carlos Beach, the Coast Guard Pier, and more.

Line, Shadow, Texture
Late day sun casts shadows
on plain white stucco walls,
varying depths of shadow,
clean geometric lines,
subtle textures,
and a blue ribbon of sky.
Taken in Sierra Vista, AZ, 9 February 2011.

Blue Wall #3
When I look at this photo
I think I can HEAR
the sun shining,
the wind blowing,
the rain falling,
all at one time.
The beautiful weathered appearance
along with lines and shadows
and that persistent blueness.
Appealing.
(No pun intended, at first.)

Belfry
The clear blue sky
creates a stable cyclorama
to enhance the scrumptious
details of this stately dome.
The brickwork
and the red, gold, and white
trimmings;
the arched openings
with faux columns
and headers.
Gorgeous.
Taken 17 November 2010 in Washington, DC.

Palms and Fountains in Anaheim
Anaheim Convention Center,
arena peeking into the photo from left
like what is being called a "photo bomb" these days;
similarly the flagpole finial in the center of the pic
jutting toward the fountain...
"Big A" sculpture in the distance,
and beyond that a glimpse of
Disney's "California Adventure" amusement park.
Palm trees,
concentric decorative paving...
very nearly too many elements in this photo.
How many humans can you find in this pic?
Taken 13 October 2010.
