John’s challenge is to find examples of photographs that feature compositional elements such as lines, patterns, or colors. I see these elements all around me in man made structures and in nature.
In the featured image the black walkway on this pedestrian bridge leads your eye to the figure dressed in red at the end of the walkway. The pattern of the green supports surrounding the walkway frame the walkway.


The Monarch Caterpillar is an example of colors and patterns in nature.

Vibrant colors and patterns in these hot air balloons.
Last week Tina’s challenge was Live and Learn. I learned some new things from your wonderful responses. Be sure to check back on Saturday, August 9 noon Eastern Time when Ann-Christine will be hosting the challenge.
Many thanks to John for this challenge Lens-Artists #359 – Lines, colors and patterns

Great images for this challenge Beth! I absolutely love the caterpillar. It is so beautiful. No wonder it morphs into a beautiful butterfly. And that is one long pedestrian bridge.

Thanks Anne! I love seeing the caterpillars in the garden. Nature gives us beauty in so many ways. The pedestrian bridge was at one of the ports on our Alaska cruise.
