Yikes, geometry! Why did Patti choose a topic I don’t feel comfortable with–math. However, once I started thinking, I realized that every picture we take involves math. Okay, I’m a little more comfortable. Then I also realized that most of that math is geometry! Imagine that!!
So here’s my take on geometry.
Let’s start with some of the art around Sacramento. Each year we host Wide Open Walls. From left: A part of large piece covering a parking lot wall. Just look at all those triangles. Next at Chalk It Up, a colorful Mandela with all kinds of shapes. Last, a sculpture with lots of triangles, circles and pentagons.



Next are two buildings. From new and sleek to old and beautiful, they both speak of geometry.


Lets mix it up with some more geometrical examples found in my photo travels.





My final examples are two wood structures. One is a wooden covered bridge and the next is the roof of a barn.


I hope I passed Patti’s geometry test. This was a lot of fun and not scary at all. When you post your reply, remember to link to Patti’s post and use the Lens-Artists tag. Next week Beth will be leading the challenge, so be sure to look for her post.
In the meantime, stay safe and be resilient!
Anne, I can’t the proper words to say about your images. They are simply gorgeous. The mandala is astonishing, and that modern building is commanding. You captured such beautiful geometric forms here.

Like you, I’m not at all comfortable with maths. But as geometry expresses itself in the natural and man-made world – that is a different story. And your post showcases the rich variety in the world if only we look around us. Such lovely photos – thanks!

Thanks Sarah! Now I cannot stop seeing geometry! I’m sure that will fade. It’s like Disneyland’s Small World song.

A great perspective on the theme, Anne! 📐 I love how you turned the fear of math into such a diverse collection. The angle you chose for the spiral staircase creates a perfect geometric harmony, and the shapes in that colorful mandala are simply mesmerizing. 🌀 You passed the test with flying colors!
