Designs in… nature
may be spikey and sharp
curve around contours
or fracture along fault lines
Designs in… the human-made world
may symbolize city skylines
carved details of the cosmos
or footpaths leading us forward

I enjoyed all your many shapes here and beautiful photographs.
Thank you, Jet!
I love your nature and your human made shapes. My favorites are the cactus and the stars in the bench.
Thanks, Beth! That was a great succulent garden I saw in Seattle. The bench is, appropriately, at a store named the "Cosmic Depot." :)
Terrific response Siobhan. Loved the variety this week and especially loved the fracture image.
Thank you, Tina! I took that one at Yosemite.
I love that bottom photo!
Thanks, Lisa! I was waiting for a good prompt for the bridge photo. 🙂
I loved the two sets you used: nature and man-made. The photos are beautiful.
Thanks so much, Egidio!
A lovely gallery, Siobhan! I especially like your opening image, and the zebra!
Thank you, John! The garden was beautiful and zebras always look great in photos. 😁
Very interesting captures 🙂
Thanks, Hammad!
Lovely variety and great photos of both nature and manmade. The fractured one is a gem.
Thanks, Ann-Christine! I took that picture in Yosemite.
Great photos for this challenge Siobhan!
Thank you, Anne!
