Sofia has challenged us to feature images that show symmetry. She tells us that symmetry in photography “creates strong and balanced images” and that “our eyes find symmetry harmonious and pleasing.”
My first two images are examples of radial symmetry I found in hot air balloons as they were being inflated at the Albuquerque International Balloon Fiesta.

The next images are examples of symmetry in architecture.



My last image is symmetry found in nature in my first Camellia bloom of the season.

Many thanks to our host Sophia for the challenge Lens-Artists Challenge #273 – Symmetry

Wow, the pics are so cool!

Suzanne, thank you! I was amazed when I saw what the inside of that balloon looked like. Little did I know there would be a symmetry challenge in my future!

Well Beth, I felt sure your balloon images would steal the show but I must admit I love the little yellow house even more. Terrific response.

Tina, I love that little yellow house, too. Our tour guide in Barbados stopped there so we could take photos.

Yesterday I stumble across the field where about 15 hot air balloons were going up. We see them in the sky quite often, but to see them inflating is/was a great find. And what a great pick for symmetry, Beth. And the door were a great add as well.
