259 Repeating Pattern


We are still at the Chicago Botanic Gardens and probably will be there all week!! This is a small part of a very nice brick fence that extends for about half a block or so in the Gardens. This repeating pattern repeats throughout the length of the fence. What amazes me about this photograph is the amount of camera distortion. I used my 18-135 mm wide angle lens and was standing less than 10 feet away.

Cropping is the only postprocessing done on this photograph.

  1. Oooooh, I like! Nice frame for the willow in the background. Good subject too. Great textures and a feeling that I want to see more through this screen of terracotta.

  3. Very cool image! This would make a cool frame if you erased out the middle of the pattern.

  6. I like this a lot, the pattern is great and the distortion makes it look 3-D in a way. Always up for garden tours too.

  9. I like everything about this shot. Thw wider end of your zoom will do that. Great shot.

  10. A delightful way to frame a garden - almost makes it a secret garden. Nice repeating pattern, too.
