Finding Different Angles: LAPC

Angles are often used in art and architecture and are also found in nature. Here are several photos that show art and nature from different angles.

This sculpture of a flock of birds zigzags down a foyer and flutters around the corner of a building in downtown Bend, Oregon.

Swallows collect beakfuls of mud to create these nests along the roof angles at Summer Lake Wildlife Area, Oregon.

Columnar basalt forms when volcanic rock cools rapidly. In this picture, at Cove Palisades State Park, the columns formed in different angles. Orange lichens highlight their form.

The fire pit contest is an exciting event at the Oregon WinterFest in Bend, Oregon. Sparks shoot out of this globe-shaped fire pit. Another fire pit behind it is sheltered by a angular tent.

The supporting beams at the Warm Spring Museum are set at different angles in imitation of how shelters from the past were constructed.

Trails of smoke from passing jets form an angle that points toward a field of flowering corn in Silverton, Oregon.

  • I like the different take on angles- with your nature connections - from the bird sculpture - (so cool) to the nests - timber supports and corn...

  • Such a beautiful gallery of angles that you captured in art/architecture and found in nature! Well done! :)

  • Lovely gallery of angles. Sometimes we don't notice things in a plain view. Well done with capturing all of them. It is such a beautiful reminder of how we are all connected and inspired by nature.

  • That bird sculpture is so interesting Siobhan-have never seen anything quite like it. And very clever to include the con trails, wouldn’t have thought of that!

    • That sculpture goes down a long breezeway so it's really big. I always notice the con trails around here since we have big blue skies for many months of the year. :)
