Weekly Photo Contest Challenge: Shapes (October 31 - November 7, 2020)

[inkmich]

Shapes. Circles, squares, triangles, rhomboids (I might have to look that one up), this theme is self-explanatory. Shapes, or a shape, does not have to be present throughout the picture but at least feature in some way. Same shapes, different shapes, whatever strikes your fancy. I trust the creativity of this crowd much too much to specify any more and look forward to seeing what you present. I would encourage everyone to have some fun with this.

Another theme that is so simple and so hard all at the same time.

Love it.

A veritable melange of geometric shapes: arches, hyperbolae, semicircles, arcs, circles, trapezoids, triangles, cylinders, rectangles, squares, and probably some others. There are also ovals and rhomboids that are really circles and rectangles that look like ovals and rhomboids because of the perspective.

Cheese aging on rack. These need to be flipped daily and a brine coating applied.

If you love geometrically defined shapes, visit the Vatican.

 

[OldMacs4Me]

Not nearly as grand but a lot closer to home and the ground than the Vatican.

Just a bit of fun with a stained glass panel

All the travel shows and movies had not prepared me for what I saw when I stepped in the Sistine Chapel and looked up. Great place to get a stiff neck

That was me as well. Constantly looking up and trying not to walk in to others.

Sadly, this field is now filled with townhouses.

I am going to try my hand with an archive shot. I loved taking images of the Louvre but I think if I go back now I would look behind the entrance more than I did this last time. At the time I took this I was very much a tick box snapper. Basically going places and ticking the usual tourist boxes for the images. I would hope I can see a little deeper next time - whatever year AC that is (After Covid). Anyway, I hope you like it.

I'll add in iconic shapes too, Burj Khalifa seen through a Swarovski crystal installation. Another phone shot, on my much loved and missed S6 Edge Plus.

One from the archives. Haven't been able to go out much lately. ( Covid restrictions and health issues)

 

[Ukiyo Evenings]

Wishing you better days health-wise @oblomow !

Here's one for the numbers. "Leaf" is a shape right? ?

 

[deep diver]

Orange you glad we agreed to leaf the dad jokes at the door this week? Looks like we have to circle back on that one, get everything squared away, and make sure everyone falls back into line.
