Repetition - not in nature #4

M in Toronto shot these.

Old, weathered brick.

With all the stucco being used in new housing and in renovations of older houses, I wonder if bricklaying will be a dying profession?

Repetition - not in nature #3

This is truly an international group. On a recent trip to Brussels, A found a few photos demonstrating Repetition.

2 pictures from Brussels. This first pic is from a street near the centre - repetitive housing all down the street.

"From le grande place (the centre of the city, "the big place"), statues in the buildings that surround le grande place."

You can view the Grand Place here. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Brussels_floral_carpet_B.jpg The photo above is the building on the left in the link.

Repetition - not in nature #2

In case any of you wanted to see what a mine was like, here's a little peek.

Repetition in  the Concentrate Filter

Repetition in the Chemical Pumps

Flotation Motors

Sample Buckets

Electrical Panel

New Electrical Panel

Now we all know a bit more about the workings of a mine. Loads of repeats. These were all taken by L in BC. It's amazing where you can find repeated items. You just have to look.

Repetition - not in nature #1

First up is D since it was her turn to choose a theme. It was while shopping that the word repetition came up.

This is the photo that started it all. All those lines repeated.

More lines repeated over and over.

Rows of magazines.

Products arranged oh so neatly on a shelf.

Statue #5

K found that Toronto's City Hall, both old and new, are wonderful places to take photos.

Sir Winston Churchill...

in dire need of a bit of polishing.

Originally this topic was going to be statues (or if possible... of the gargoyle form.) Well, since none of the other ladies came up with gargoyles, K managed to find some. Here they are hanging from Old City Hall.

Statue #4

From L in BC we have garden gnomes.

 Must be hard to find statues in rural BC.

Statue #3

D took the following series of photos outside of Our Lady of Lourdes Parish in Toronto.

Statue #2

Another international submission. This time from A in London.

Julius Caesar from the old original Roman baths in Bath Spa. (taken on a recent visit to Bath)

 

The yellow cat serves as a marker for walking to the train every morning.  "I use the cat to ensure I go the right way through the new-builds in Greenwich."

 

A bull from a cool place in South Bank (an area of London).

 

These last two are of elephants...

 

from the "save the African elephants" campaign around London. 

They also happen to be A's favourite animal.

Statue #1

All the following photos were taken by M on a recent trip to Kew Gardens - Royal Botanical Gardens in London.

 

 

A memorable trip visiting her sister.

The following photos were all submitted by A, our international member.
